The 10 Best Nature & Parks in Limburg Province, The Netherlands
Getting its name from the medieval Duchy of Limburg (now split among Holland, Belgium and Germany and the birthplace of the infamously pungent Limburger cheese), Limburg is the Netherlands’ southernmost region. Many of the area’s best attractions are concentrated in the capital of Maastricht, but other sights include the 12th-century Valkenburg castle ruins, the 17th-century Eijsden castle, the 20th-century Glaspaleis (built next to a medieval church at Heerlen), and De Meinweg National Park.

The walks around the lakes and water are beautiful, so is the town with the live music from the bandstand. I was recommended to come to this town as an off the beaten track and it certainly is but its also vibrant, colourful and friendly. Highly recommended

Thanks to our stay in Roermond we discovered this beautiful nature reserve. Highly recommended for cyclists and hikers. Certain zones are quiet zones and therefore forbidden for cars, motorcycles and mopeds. Very well signposted paths for cyclists and hikers.

Probably the most beautiful zoo to walk through in the Netherlands. Lots of greenery and no cages, only natural exhibits. Not the biggest zoo, we were there for 3.5 hours. There are lots of play areas for the kids, including an indoor dinosaur themed play ground.

Kasteeltuinen has vast, beautiful gardens to explore. There are rose gardens, tropical gardens, Japanese gardens, bamboo, Italian and the list goes on. All are delicately manicured and well kept. There is a huge crazy golf course that is included in the entrance fee. Lots of lakes and waterfalls too. We stayed about 3 hours and didn't see everything because the site is massive. We visited the house too. The interior was disappointing. We also fed some goats, chickens and Koi Carp. This is a place to visit on a dry day as 90 percent is outside. Kids go free in July and August, which is always a bonus! You can get cheaper tickets sometimes on Social Deal or the ANWB members' site. I plan to return to see the parts that I did not get to see.
9. National Park De Groote Peel

Such a beautiful place, full of history and magnificent surroundings and views. We spent a few hours here with young children, starting off with the ‘kabouter’ trail (excellent for smaller children- 1km), followed by the 2km one. The plaggen hut and other signposted viewing points make it an entertaining and educative event. We enjoyed a yummy latte macchiato at the Peel Boerderij cafe, just after the start of the trail, off the main road. Go there if you want real, freshly brewed coffee in a beautiful setting. The information centre at the start sells a range of paraphernalia and has maps and other info about the area, history and trails.

I did the Fort Sint Pieter tour with Simone (only two of us on that tour, very personalized!) and then the North Caves tour with Matt (who also took us to the Nazi vault. Both tours were great and the guides really deliver the history in a fun way. The thought that went into the development of the Fort was brilliant, making it practically impossible to invade. The caves were also a wonder with the intricate system, the many uses, and the massive volume of ground that was moved to create that system. Loved every second of these two tours!
