Westerbork Path part 5
Hiked 11.0 kilometres from Bussum to Hilversum.
The Jewish cemetery in Bussum serves as a poignant memorial to the Jewish victims of the Shoah. Located between Bussum and Hilversum, the cemetery is situated amidst heathlands, traversed by a straight, unpaved road known as the Crailoseweg, also referred to as “prayer without end.”

I found it funny that there is a vending machine for flowers.
Bussummerheide
The Bussummerheide is the largest heathland of the Gooi. It is one of the few rare locations where one can observe wildlife from a distance. This is the domain of the skylark, the tree piper, and the robin tap. With a bit of luck, the fox can also be spotted here.
The Hilversum broadcaster or television tower stands as a prominent and distinctive landmark in the city. Constructed in 1960, this reinforced concrete and steel structure was designed by the renowned architect Jan H. van der Zee of Bussum.
