Sallandse Heuvelrug

Ivar Hagendoorn -

Sallandse Heuvelrug is a National Park in the Dutch province of Overijssel, near Nijverdal and Holten. Its highest point is 75 metres! The forests are quite recent, dating back to the early 20th century. The original forests had been razed in the Middle Ages. After retirement my parents moved to a town bordering the Sallandse Heuvelrug, which is why I've got quite a few photos from this area.

The colours of Autumn
It pains me to see so many trees being felled, but it does make for interesting photos

The problem is that more trees are being felled than are being planted

I find the structure of bark quite fascinating
