Tour of Weerterbos and Nederweert

This tour through the nice towns of Weert and Nederweert introduces you to a surprising cultural history. You will also pass through the Weerterbos, a beautiful nature reserve. It is one of the few natural forests in this region. Get off at the lookout tower where you can spot red deer. Near this lookout tower you will pass the monument for the former border church, which stood here in the forest from 1648 to 1712. Nederweert, a little further away, was separated from Weert in the fourteenth century. There is a nice atmosphere around the St. Lambertus Church. In the old Nederweert-Eind you will see beautiful historic farms. You cycle back along the Moeselpeel, a swamp area with willow forest and reed fields that you can beautifully see from the country roads.
