Het Mammoetpad

Borger – The Mammoetpad path is part of the Heemtuin. In conjunction with Het Beleveniscollectief from Hellum, the Heemtuin created this beautiful nature study walk. With a nod to the area’s native inhabitants, it has resulted in an exciting barefoot path. Cross bridges that almost touch the water, slither through the mud on your bare feet, get on a raft and slip through the reeds. With so many adventures, this is also where you find an exciting playground, and a look-out. You can even go swimming here when the weather is nice.
