Tips

January 19, 2023

With kids? You might want to show them the back of the structure with the name of the museum. Maybe they roughly know the difference between a woodlark, kingfisher and nightjar? And do they already know the slippery snake? Twelve animals: the big 5 and magnificent 7 of Bosland. Oh, there's a wooden effigy of a nightjar before you get to the museum (when you come from the parking lot).

Forest Museum Pijnven is part of the Pijnven nature reserve, a large and varied coniferous forest. The museum paints a picture of the fauna and flora of the Limburg Kempen. The emphasis is on the forest as a community and on the principles of forestry. In addition, a collection of wood species is on display.

Bosland National Park is a very beautiful and varied walking and cycling area!
Nice museum, unfortunately closed this time of year.
