Walking through the green lung of Venlo

The Koelbroek originated from an old Meuse meander. You mainly walk through an alder forest. In the southern part of this wet reserve you can see large buttercup, blackcurrant and marsh marigold. A little further on you can walk across the Crayelheide. This nature reserve consists of a mosaic of hedgerows, grasslands, forest and stream valley. The Blerickse Bergen consists of a gently sloping area of former drifting dunes. Mostly coniferous trees grow in the dry soil. Every now and then you said American bird cherry. It is wonderfully peaceful to walk here, especially near the Mortelsven. Some more deciduous trees grow around this fen. At the edge of the forest you sometimes hear the meowing of a buzzard. After your walk you can enjoy a delicious meal and relax at Hotel-Restaurant Maashof.
