National Park De Meinweg is a unique nature reserve in the province of Limburg, near Roermond, and part of the cross-border Maas-Swalm-Nette nature area. The park is known for its rare terraced landscape with distinct elevation changes, formed by fault lines in the earth’s crust. It features a rich mix of heathlands, forests and fens, offering a diverse environment for walking, cycling and wildlife spotting.

Covering around 1800 hectares, the park is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. Badgers, deer and wild boar roam the forests, and De Meinweg is the only place in the Netherlands where the adder, a native venomous snake, still exists. The blooming heather in late summer creates a sea of purple, attracting many visitors.

There are many marked trails for hiking and biking, passing by serene ponds, sandy paths and scenic viewpoints. The Meinweg Visitor Centre is a great starting point, offering information about the area, interactive exhibits, and a cozy café. Children can enjoy nature-themed games and educational trails.

The park can be easily combined with visits to nearby attractions, such as the historic town of Roermond, the white village of Thorn, or the German town of Brüggen. As part of the larger Maas-Swalm-Nette region, De Meinweg allows for seamless exploration across the Dutch-German border.

Accessible all year round, the park reveals different charms in each season: purple heather in summer, misty forests in autumn, fresh greenery in spring and peaceful, crisp air in winter.

Whether you seek tranquility, adventure or connection with nature, National Park De Meinweg offers a beautiful and varied landscape to enjoy.
