Highlight • River

The old Maasarm is a true natural idyll. Many waterfowl live here. We were even able to admire a stork, which is actually not that common in our region.

Great paths lead us through beautiful forest passages, the Hooge Heide and the nature area "Het sohr" past the foothills of the Meuse. For the children, the tour is very interesting …
