What's in the name ... Groote Heide is a large heathland close to Venlo and the German border. Through the large heath - which is part of a larger forest and nature reserve that also crosses the border - various gravel paths, wide and narrow, run. The area is free to walk and cycle on all paths, but as a cyclist keep in mind the many walkers who also find the area from the city. A busy but beautiful place.

The "Groote Heide" is a highlight for both pedestrians and cyclists. A well-developed asphalt bike path leads all around, which also offers beautiful insights. If you drive into the heart of the heather you will find wonderful views, especially in August.
In the late afternoon, open your eyes to see quite a few deer. You always see sheep.
