Along the most beautiful part of Peel

The Peel landscape can be read like a history book. The vast majority of the peat swamp was excavated by peat cutters and sold as 'the gold of Peel'. Traces of this are still everywhere. This is also the case in Griendtsveen, with its old village pumps, drawbridges, straight peeling canals and characteristic buildings. Now the Peel is a paradise for nature lovers with a landscape of water, heathlands and sand ridges. The wetland area attracts more than a hundred species of breeding and migratory birds.

Before or after your bike ride, you are very welcome at the Natuurpoort de Peel restaurant for a snack and a drink on the terrace or inside by the fireplace. You can also have your own picnic basket filled here for a delicious picnic in the Deurnesche Peel. More information: www.natuurpoorten.nl/depeel
