Koosterbos Ter Apel
The monastery forest of Ter Apel is a unique place where nature and history go hand in hand. Around the medieval Monastery of Ter Apel, you walk through an intimate landscape full of woods, heathland, fields, fens and meandering streams.
Every bend in the path reveals something new: an old lime tree with a story, the Molen-Aa stream that has been carrying water for centuries, or a mysterious dobbe that used to play an important role in the lives of the people here.
Together with a guide from Staatsbosbeheer, you will discover how the landscape is intertwined with the lives of the Knights of the Cross who once lived and worked here. You will learn not only about plants and animals, but also about ancient customs and the rich cultural history of this area.
Whether you come with colleagues, family or friends: a walk through the monastery woods is an experience that takes you back in time and into the heart of nature.
