The Landscape

Space, tranquility and beauty are the main characteristics of the Heidenatuurpark in Parkstad Limburg. An area of no less than 2,100 hectares and a paradise for special plants and animals. An area of extremes and contrasts because cities and villages border a picturesque natural landscape with vast heaths, sandy plains, fens, forests, swamps and deep quarries. A beauty in the Heidenatuurpark is the largest continuous moorland in South Limburg: the Brunssumerheide. A unique and valuable nature area where humans and animals can fully enjoy forest, heath and sand dunes.
