Overasseltse and Hatertse Fens
Environment & nature
In the Overasseltse and Hatertse Vennen, each season has its own color and scent. In autumn, the red glow of plants and foliage predominates. In summer, the plumes of cotton grass and bog cotton wave in the wind. The pine scent tingles the nose. In winter, the landscape reveals its expansiveness. But the rolling river dunes, dark fens, and heath are beautiful in every season. You can always search for badger tracks as well.
Walk one of the marked routes, visit the chapel withthe Fever Tree, explore the area by horse or discover the great variety of animals that live here.
Groesbeek Forest
Environment & nature
The Groesbeek Forest in the Kingdom of Nijmegen is worth a visit in all seasons. Enjoy autumn hues, sun-drenched heath, or perhaps idyllic snow-covered trees. It's wonderful here for walkers, riders, mountain bikers, cyclists, and dogs with their owners. There are many marked routes, playgrounds, picnic areas, and other opportunities to enjoy the beautiful Groesbeek nature.
Heiderijk
Environment & nature
Staatsbosbeheer collaborates with other land managers within the Heiderijk Nijmegen Mook project. In this way, Staatsbosbeheer contributes to a beautiful and varied heathland where specific heath species feel at home. The project also ensures that different nature areas are reconnected. This is important for plants and animals.
