Teverener Heide Nature Reserve

It doesn't matter whether you drive into the Teverener Heide nature reserve or leave it, a view over the heath is simply beautiful. I especially like it when the heather is in bloom (August and September).

The Teveren Heath covers an area of approximately 4.5 km² west of the town of Teveren in the southern district of Heinsberg along the German-Dutch border and, together with the nearby nature reserves of Rodebach and Brunssummerheide, forms the Heath Nature Park. On the German side, the towns of Geilenkirchen and Übach-Palenberg as well as the municipality of Gangelt border the area, which has been part of the Green Metropolis project since 2008. On the Dutch side lies the town of Brunssum.
To the north of the heath is the NATO Air Base Geilenkirchen, the home airfield of the NATO E-3A unit with its AWACS early warning system.

The Teverner Heide has a special vegetation because of the sandy soil. A visit is recommended at different times of the year. However, there are only a few paths that are easy to navigate by bike.
