Visit Limburg

Hagevenpad

6.5 km

Nature knows no boundaries, and certainly not in northern Limburg. A 600-hectare oasis of heathland, fens, forests and g...rasslands spreads across Belgium and the Netherlands. Here in the Hageven - De Plateaux the Dommel river meanders its way through this beautiful landscape. Natuurpunt carefully manages this area that stretches across the national border as a patchwork of different types of nature. Hay fields, grasslands and heaths alternate with fens and ponds. In every season you can enjoy the tranquility of the landscape. Birdwatchers get their money's worth here, not only because of the oddballs that reside in that area, but all the more so with 2 bird-watching huts in the perfect spots. Smiling at the little bird? The Instagram hotspot on this trail is the adventurous suspension bridge over the Dommel River! read more
