Discover National Park De Meinweg

National Park De Meinweg is an impressive nature reserve in the east of central Limburg, surrounded by Germany. Covering an area of over 1,800 hectares, it is one of the most special places to relax or actively enjoy nature. The area offers an oasis of silence and space, ideal for nature lovers, hikers and families. National Park De Meinweg is a perfect starting point for a day out in the green, in the middle of a beautiful nature reserve in Limburg.

A unique nature reserve in Limburg

What makes this nature reserve in Limburg so special is its unique terraced landscape. This was formed by centuries of encrustation by the Meuse and landslides along three active fault lines crossing the area. The steep transitions between the terraces give the landscape a distinctive character. Within the park, forests, moors, fens and stream valleys alternate, constantly surprising you during a walk. Not for nothing is National Park De Meinweg one of the most beautiful nature reserves in Limburg.

Hiking in De Meinweg

National Park De Meinweg is a true paradise for hikers. You will find a wide range of marked hiking trails, from short, accessible paths to longer trips through wilder parts of nature. Whether you come alone, with friends or with the family: walking in De Meinweg is always a special experience. Don't forget your binoculars, because along the way you may spot unusual animals such as the black woodpecker, tree falcon or even an adder. The latter is unique: it is the only place in Limburg where this snake still occurs. View the routes via the Startpunt Nationaal Park De Meinweg.
