National Park The De Meinweg

De Meinweg is of great geological significance because of the terraced landscape, which is unique in the Netherlands, with three steep transitions between the different terraces. These were created by erosion of the sediments deposited by the Rhine and Meuse in the distant past and by shifts in the earth's crust. The total height difference between the three terraces is 50 meters. The Roer valley is 30 meters above NAP and the Beatrix plateau at 80 meters. Two brook valleys have arisen across the terraces: the valley of the Boschbeek and the valley of the Roode Beek. Between these streams and stream valleys lie quiet fens and vast forests and heaths. Today there is a viper population here again.

'Brasserie De Boshut' is located directly on the edge of the Meinweg National Park. The place to rest and enjoy the range of food and drinks. In the atmospheric brasserie you can enjoy a cup of coffee with Limburgse vlaai or a delicious meal in a relaxed atmosphere.

National Park De Maasduinen is unique because the longest river dune belt in the Netherlands is located in the area. These were created by an interplay of water, wind and people over the centuries.

To get an idea of ​​what happened in the past, we go back to the time when the Rhine still flowed through the area and the Meuse was a branch of the Rhine. Traces of the Rhine can still be found today, for example on Landgoed de Hamert. Rhine gravel is still hidden in the soil.
