Tour of Groote Peel from Deurne

Your route starts at Restaurant De Eeterij. Today you will discover De Groote Peel National Park. Via the Galgenberg and Dennendijk forests - also beautiful nature reserves! - cycle to De Pelen Outdoor Center. Here you will find all the details about De Groote Peel National Park, presented in a beautiful ecological visitor center. The raised bog area originated on a sandy plain with impermeable clay layers underneath. As a result, rainwater stagnated and peat moss peat formed in the area. The raised peat bog, of which De Groote Peel National Park is a remnant, used to cover approximately 30,000 hectares. The 4,000 hectares that remained intact retained its natural ruggedness. You can't get in by bike, but you ride through the nature on the western edge. You drive back through the center of Asten, an attractive old village.
