On National Park Dwingelderveld, work is still done with sheep herds. One of them is based in Ruinen.
Every day, weather permitting, you can see how the shepherd takes the sheep out onto the heath and returns at the end of the day. Incredibly beautiful to see how this goes on.
It is anyway a beautiful park to walk, huge and one of the darkest places in NL.
During my stay at a B&B nearby, I walked a bit with the herd (As far as the paths allowed, because you are not allowed everywhere of course!) and took this picture.
It is now hanging on my wall as well.
