Discover the peace and nature of De National Park Groote Peel
For holidaymakers at Camping De Schatberg, National Park De Groote Peel is a wonderful destination to experience nature in all its glory. This vast raised bog area on the border of Limburg and North Brabant offers a unique landscape of ponds, marshes and heaths. The park, with an area of 1,400 hectares, is not only an oasis of tranquillity but also a place with a rich history. The visible scars of peat extraction give the area a special historical dimension. For nature lovers, the boardwalks and peel paths are a great way to experience the silence and vastness on a walk.
A home for birds and unique flora
De Groote Peel is internationally recognised as a wetland for its exceptional natural quality and biodiversity. It is a paradise for bird lovers, with a large number of breeding and migratory birds such as the crane, bluethroat and marsh harrier. Besides birds, the area is also home to unique flora such as peat moss and various tree species, making it a fascinating ecosystem. There are hiking trails of various lengths, including the ‘Rondje om “t Elfde”, which takes you to the heart of the park. For an extra experience, you can join excursions such as the Turfstekertocht, in which you learn more about the cultural history of the Peel.
