Spectacular archaeological discoveries have been made in De Maashorst in recent years. For example, archaeologists found royal tombs from the early Iron Age, a cemetery from late prehistory, the largest bronze deposit in the Netherlands from Roman times and a number of forgotten villages from the Middle Ages. Tangible memories from (pre)history that are still present and visible in the current landscape. Admire the ancient treasures with a guide or go on a discovery tour yourself.

There are several projects in the Maashorst region where various bat boxes are used to monitor the animals. This monitoring is done by shining a strong flashlight from below into the cabinets during the day. This allows the various types and quantities to be determined. We also check various maternity groups and winter populations in the region by inspecting various bat roosts. Exemptions are required for all these activities.

The royal tomb was not excavated on site, but was lifted into blocks and then examined in a laboratory. By means of X-ray searching, the archaeologists found no less than 525 minuscule bronze objects that allowed them to reconstruct the details of a prehistoric early Iron Age burial. Unique, because something like this rarely works!

Frost(in) of the Maashorst

Centuries ago people already lived in De Maashorst. This is proven by the many traces found by archaeologists over the past century. The oldest and still visible remains are the burial mounds: monuments for the deceased who were buried centrally under the hill. On the Slabroekse Heide, the count of burial mounds found has now reached a hundred. Isn't it fascinating, the idea that people already lived here centuries ago? Explore the area together and experience it!

Easy and beautiful cycle path through the forest and heath. Especially recommended on a quiet summer evening when few people are on the road!
