Park Gravenrode

Park Gravenrode spans across two valleys, Strijthagerbeekdal and Anstelerbeekdal, featuring wooded slopes, streams, agricultural lands, and multiple historical castles.

The area transformed from a mining district into a tourist destination, with preserved elements including coal wagons, a miners' chapel, and a restored learning mine.

The park hosts major events at Megaland, including the Pinkpop festival, while maintaining botanical gardens that date back to 1938.

Visitors can access multiple attractions within the park boundaries, including GaiaZOO, SnowWorld ski facility, Mondo Verde theme park, and Discovery Museum.

The Wilhelminaberg features the Netherlands' longest uncovered staircase, while the Cranenweyer stands as the country's only dam lake.
