The Brunssummerheide is one of the most diverse and expansive nature reserves in South Limburg. The landscape consists of vast heathlands interspersed with forests, sandy plains, fens, and rolling hills. This diversity makes it a unique place where every walk feels different. In the summer months, the heathland turns a beautiful purple, while in autumn the forests are bathed in warm hues, and in winter, the mist and frost give the area an almost fairytale-like atmosphere.

The area is rich in flora and fauna: you can encounter deer, foxes, woodpeckers, and many species of butterflies and dragonflies. Thanks to the open heathland and tranquil woodlands, it is also a popular spot for birds, including the nightjar and woodlark.

For hikers and cyclists, there are numerous marked trails that lead you to the most beautiful spots. From the higher elevations, you'll also be rewarded with panoramic views of the Limburg and even the German border region. The visitor center on the edge of the area offers information, route starting points, and a nice place to begin or end your trip.
