In North Limburg, nature calls you outside

    Where the landscape takes you

    In North Limburg, nature goes its own way. And that's exactly what makes it so beautiful. You will find vast forests, quiet fens, rolling shifting dunes and blooming heathlands. Here you walk on winding paths, right through the greenery. For serious walkers, there are long routes through De Maasduinen National Park or De Groote Peel. For slow walkers, there are benches with a view, where you don't have to do anything for a while.

    Besides looking. Or listening. To the wind through the trees, the rustle of grass and maybe the call of a bird in the distance. You will also discover the landscape at its best on a bicycle. With wide views along the Meuse river, through villages where time seems to move a little slower and along paths where you sometimes meet more sheep than people. And the nice thing? Nature is always close by here. Whether you go out for the day or just take a stroll around your corner.

    In North Limburg, you will find outdoor living as it is meant to be.

    Tip from forester Michelle:

    ''Put on your walking shoes for the Foresters' Trail through the Schadijk Woods. This 11.5-kilometre route takes you past forest, heathland and old drift dunes. Every season, nature shows a different side here. Just follow the green posts and walk mostly on unpaved paths. There are plenty of benches along the way to take a break. And good to know: leashed dogs are also welcome.
