Description
On an elongated, high sand ridge between the Maas and the German border, there are relatively young conifers and heather plants, planted on what was once drifting sand. This sand has determined the appearance of the De Maasduinen National Park: a terraced landscape consisting of lower and higher sandy soils, the Maas valley and a plateau. In addition to the beautiful nature, you can also visit Kasteelmuseum Boxmeer. The castle is located on a former island on the Maas and was built in the fourteenth century. Until 1568, the castle was inhabited by the Lords and Ladies of Boxmeer, until the Royal garrison was housed there. In 1897, the sisters of Julie Postel established a hospital on the site.
