National Park De Maasduinen in northern Limburg is home to the longest continuous river dunes in the Netherlands. A landscape shaped by wind, water and human hands, with rolling dunes, quiet fens, purple heath and vast forests that change colour every season. You come here for peace, space and nature that keeps surprising you. Spot unusual species such as the sand lizard, put on your walking shoes for a route through woods and dunes or get on your bike for a trip along the Meuse. For nature lovers, hikers and anyone who wants to recharge their batteries in green surroundings

In Bergen, you can walk straight into some of the most beautiful nature reserves in North Limburg. Around the Reindersmeer you can enjoy wide views over the water, on De Hamert estate you can wander through heathland and river dunes and in the Bergerbos you can walk in the shade of the trees. These are all places where you can get away from it all. Going out? At the visitor centre next to Bosbrasserie De Sluis you can get a handy cycling and hiking map. Ideal for walkers, cyclists and families who want to map out their own route. Start with coffee, then off into nature, that's how we do it here.

Bergen is one such place where a family holiday automatically feels right. The natural surroundings invite you to cycle together along quiet junction routes, walk through woods and dunes or play by the water. Plenty of space to be outdoors and to have some real time together. Accommodation here is good too. There is plenty of choice of child-friendly campsites and holiday parks, such as Vakantiepark Leukermeer, Klein Canada and Camping Roland. With swimming pools, playgrounds and activities in high season, there is always something to do. For active families, outdoor enthusiasts and everyone who loves holidays in the green, North Limburg style.
