Brunssummerheide, Protected nature area in Brunssum, Netherlands.
The Brunssummerheide spans across 2,100 hectares of land featuring purple heathlands, coniferous forests, sandy plains, and iron-rich streams.
The Brunssummerheide received its protected status in 2013, marking a significant step in preserving the largest heathland area in Limburg province.
Local shepherds maintain the ecological balance by guiding Schoonebeeker sheep through the heathlands, continuing a centuries-old land management tradition.
The area provides marked trails for hiking, cycling, and mountain biking, with some paths specifically designed for wheelchair accessibility.
The Roode Beek stream flowing through the area displays a distinct red coloration due to its high iron content from the surrounding soil.
