Tour of Groote Peel from Deurne

Your route starts at Natuurpoort Green Valley Estate. Today you will discover De Groote Peel National Park. Via the Galgenberg and Dennendijkse forests - also beautiful nature reserves! - you cycle to Buitencentrum De Pelen. Here you will find all the details about De Groote Peel National Park, presented in a beautiful ecological visitors centre. The raised bog area originated on a sandy plain with impenetrable clay layers underneath. As a result, the rainwater stagnated and peat moss peat formed in the area. In the past, the raised bog, of which De Groote Peel National Park is a remnant, covered some 30,000 hectares. The 4,000 hectares that remained intact retained their natural ruggedness. You cannot enter it by bike, you cycle through the surrounding nature along the edge. You cycle back through the atmospheric centre of Asten.
