The statue of "Jefke de Heikapper"

4.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

The statue is located on the town square of Heppen.
It isn't that much, but people in the neighbourhood compare me with the ancient legend.
He uses to cut and clean the grass and bush plains in Heppen and the surrounding areas.
Not that I'm doing this job right now.
But I'm also a forest dweller as he was and we both wear the same strange hat.

You won't find any walking trails in the reserve, but when you've got a good orientation you'll always find your way out.
I can give you one crucial tip.
WATCH OUT for hunters during the hunting season.
They'll shoot anything!!!

And when you're lucky you'll spot foxes, predator birds, squirrels and some small deer.

Grote Beek

When you translate the name of the reserve, you'll become --Wet Triangle--.
That's because the river -- Grote Beek-- runs true it.
It's a wet forested area, with a variety of small and big, mammals and birds.

Cycling in Heppen

Cycling is a common Sunday activity in Heppen.
There are many well marked routes in Heppen, who will lead you to the neighboring towns and cities.
But they always end again in Heppen at the "Buurthuis".
Here you can consume one or more of the local beers.
CHEERS
