Nature discovery tour: the Maasplassen near Heel

What is the largest contiguous water sports area in the Netherlands? Central Limburg, with the Maas and Maasplassen! Walking is a great pleasure here. Beautiful views over the water, quiet forests and historic towns... Discover all this beauty from Lenny\\\'s ice cream and coffee shop, in the picturesque old church village of Heel. The water is central to this route. You will soon walk past the lakes for which the region is known. The isolated lake Sint-Anna's Beemd is very special. This was created from a gravel quarry, which is why the banks are steep. Kingfishers catch fish from the willow forest and more than 200 plant species have been counted. The forests and heathlands of the Beegder Heide show the region from a completely different side. Back at Lenny\\\'s ice cream and coffee shop, you can enjoy some homemade ice cream. That's okay after such a hike!
