Description
De Maasduinen National Park is located right next to the German border. It sometimes feels like you are abroad, because the river dunes provide quite a bit of height difference. Perfect for the e-bike!
Your route starts at De Maasduinen Visitor Center. You can immediately have a coffee at Bosbrasserie In de Sluis. Located in a lock, with a beautiful terrace on the water. Here you are above a narrow canal between the Leukermeer and Reindermeer: you will encounter both later during your route.
First you drive via Nieuw-Bergen to Afferden. Just above that you enter De Maasduinen National Park. You continue towards Landgoed Bleijenbeek, where you drive close to the castle ruins of the same name. In 1945, the medieval Bleijenbeek Castle was destroyed by bombs from the English RAF, but nothing has actually changed since then. A rugged, romantic place.
A little later you cycle close to the Reindersmeer, also part of the National Park. The former sand quarry is now a beautiful nature reserve that is popular with birds. Even the harrier and the sea eagle are spotted here. The Leukermeer, a little further away, also originated as a sand quarry. It has a completely different atmosphere: here you can swim, surf and sail. Holiday feeling at its best!
