A Nice Stroll with our Neighbours

Each year, the ASTRON/JIVE secretaries organize an outing with a theme that is somehow closely related to ASTRON/JIVE activities. This year, Marja Carnal came up with the idea to visit our neighbours Natuurmonumenten (the national society for Nature preservation) for a stroll over the Dwingelderveld with a guide.

The guide showed a part of the Dwingelderveld that has recently been re-developed back to nature. This new nature, together with the fact that this is wet heathland again, has already attracted a lot of new species of both fauna and flora, and it is expected that others will follow.

After this nice stroll, which was only disrupted by some annoying mosquitos, we went to restaurant De Huiskamer for a lovely dinner on their wonderful terrace. The presentation of some of the dishes was quite amazing, as shown in one of the pictures.
