The Leerke Ven is a nature and recreation area west of Panheel.
The area created by gravel extraction includes ponds and banks with cycle and walking paths. In addition to being a wintering and breeding area for water birds, it is best known because beavers settled there for the first time in 1995. These came from the Eifel. In 2002 and 2004, beavers from elsewhere were introduced into the area to prevent inbreeding. In 2010 there were about 100 beavers.
Because beavers often turned out to be victims of traffic, a thirty-meter-long beaver tunnel was constructed in 2010.
