The Molenplas premium hiking trail runs around the Mühlensee lake. At just over five kilometers, it's the shortest of the "Wasser.Wander.Welt" premium hiking trails, which are characterized by excellent signage and a wonderful natural experience. I'll show you what awaits you along the way: 👉 https://www.netreisetagebuch.de/premium-wanderweg-molenplas/

The Leudal is a 900-hectare nature reserve consisting primarily of forests with scattered grasslands, fields, and patches of heathland. Three streams flow through the area: the Leubeek, the Zelsterbeek, and the Haelensche Beek; for this reason, the Leudal is also known as the "Three Rivers Land." Approximately 500 hectares of the area are managed by the Dutch Forestry Commission (Staatsbosbeheer). Source: https://www.leumolen.nl/Entree/Start%20Leumolen/DeLeumolen.htm

The municipality of Leudal is named after the Leudal nature reserve, which forms the heart of the municipality. Due to its green character, this municipality is sometimes called the Garden of Limburg. The Leudal nature reserve is located between the villages of Haelen, Roggel, Neer, Nunhem, and Heythuysen and covers approximately 900 hectares. 500 hectares of this area is managed as a reserve by the Dutch Forestry Commission (Staatsbosbeheer). In addition to the stream valleys that have formed the nature reserve, the area also boasts beautiful sights such as the Sint Ursulamolen windmill. Due to its unique character, the Leudal nature reserve has been designated Natura 2000, safeguarding its biodiversity. The stream valleys in the Leudal are picturesquely beautiful. The Zelsterbeek and Leubeek streams meander among the trees. Over centuries, water has eroded the stream valleys so deeply that they have created ravines. At the transition from higher to lower ground, runoff has carved out hollow paths. The stream valleys create the Leudal landscape with unique flora and fauna. It consists largely of forests of hazel, birch, and willow, and the kingfisher, which catches fish in the streams, lives in the banks.

The Roer flows into the Meuse near Roermond in the Netherlands (Limburg province)

A great hike that I would happily recommend, also because of the many animals along the way.

This circular hiking trail begins at the Hompe windmill, which has been used as a grain and oil mill since 1722 and leads around the Molenplas (Mill Lake). Two-thousand-year-old trees, salvaged during gravel mining, now stand here as prehistoric monuments. A rich birdlife and plants typical of wetlands offer a very special natural experience. Free-roaming Galloway cattle and a herd of Konik horses graze the area. A dam made of boulders serves as stepping stones between two lakes (there is also a bypass if the water level is too high).
