De Mortelen, Nature reserve in North Brabant, Netherlands.
De Mortelen contains forests, meadows, hedgerows, and streams across its territory, creating a network of diverse natural environments for plants and animals.
The area dates back to 1303 when Duke Jan II of Brabant transferred the land to Park Abbey in Leuven, initiating centuries of agricultural development.
The traditional farming methods used in De Mortelen created isolated fields surrounded by wild grounds, preserving the natural variations in the landscape.
Walking trails begin at two main points: Hoeve 1827 and De Vrolijke Jager, both located along Oude Grintweg for convenient access to the reserve.
The name Mortelen references the soft, tender ground characteristics of this region, where rare plants like oneberry and bird's-nest orchid grow in hidden spots.
