Nederland - Laren, Zuiderheide
The Zuiderheide is one of the heathland areas in Het Gooi; an area centred on the spur of the so called Utrechtse Heuvelrug (Utrecht Hill Ridge). The height differences in the area were created 120,000 years ago during the penultimate ice age. There are several ca. 4,000-year-old prehistoric burial mounds on the Zuiderheide, which protrude above the heathland like clearly recognisable green domes.
The southernmost part of the heathland - near Theehuis 't Bluk - consists of shifting sand, in fact a Dutch 'desert'. The sand that lies here was once brought by the polar storms of the last ice age.
After being pleasantly surprised by the beauty of the area last year, this year we visited especially for the blooming heather fields. And partly due to the wet spring, the Zuiderheide was also purple as purple can be !!

Thank you for the note.
Enjoy a nice and interesting new week.
A lovely series from the heathlands.
Happy Monday.
.....happy week ahead:)
Your narrative is very interesting...........it makes us realise that there is more to these heathlands areas than meets the eye!
Evocative and very nice pictures.
You go all the way back to the ice age to describe its specifics, what a concern for accuracy and information, Jaap!
......wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,ganz liebe Grüße Güni:))
