De Krang is a nature reserve immediately southwest of Swartbroek.

The nature reserve is situated between the Leukerbeek stream to the north and the Tungelroyse Beek stream to the south, although there are also several areas on the opposite banks of the streams.

De Krang consists of the Roukespeel and Laagbroek sub-areas. Both peat fens are low-lying basins amidst higher ground. These were once wet, marshy areas avoided by the local population. Later, they were made suitable for agriculture through leveling and drainage. Natuurmonumenten (Dutch Society for Nature Conservation) is working to restore the wetlands here, hoping that valuable plant species native to the area will return.

De Krang also consists of deciduous and coniferous forests, coppices, grassland, and old, rounded fields. Due to the differences in elevation and moisture content, a wide variety of plants and animals can be found. From the birdwatching screen at Roukespeelven, you can enjoy watching waterfowl such as grebes and common teals.

The Krang is also home to the Ellerschans, a farmers' fort built during the Eighty Years' War for protection against the enemy. The fort was completely reconstructed in 2007.
