Meinweg National Park

Meinweg National Park is a nature reserve spanning forests, heathlands, fens, and stream valleys across distinct plateaus with varying ecosystems. The landscape combines several habitat types, each supporting its own community of plants and animals.

Over millennia, the Rhine and Meuse rivers shaped the land through sediment deposits, creating the characteristic plateaus we see today. Tectonic movements contributed to forming the current layered landscape structure.

The park is part of a cross-border nature conservation project between the Netherlands and Germany, showing how countries work together to protect natural habitats. Visitors notice this international cooperation reflected in how the landscape is managed and cared for.

The area is crossed by an extensive network of walking trails, cycling paths, and riding routes linking different sections together. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for uneven terrain.

This is the only place in Limburg province where native adder populations survive in the wild today. The snake is so important to the park that it appears on the official logo.
