뢰르몬드‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 호수

The landscape of the national park is characterized by pine forests, heathland and moors. The moors were formed due to the terracing of the area sloping from east to west, which is caused by small horsts and geological trenches. The two largest moor lakes, called “vennen” in Dutch, are the “Elfenmeer” and the “Rolvennen” lake.

The Maasplassen extend over a vast area of approximately 3,000 hectares, consisting of a network of lakes, ponds and canals created by gravel extraction. With clear blue water and surrounded by lush green banks, the Maasplassen offer a beautiful backdrop for all kinds of activities.

The first documented mention reports a sale of the Dalheim mill with its pond and land in 1231 by Heinrich Herr zu Helpenstein to the Cistercian convent in Ophoven. In 1258 the monastery also moved to the neighboring monastery courtyard in Dalheim. In 1775, the last Dalheim abbess, Maria Anna von Oyen, had the current mill building built after a fire. The coat of arms attached to a granite plaque above the entrance to the mill is a reminder of this. In the monastery mill, which was not a ban mill, there was a grinding mill for grain and an oil press. After the monastery was dissolved in 1802, the mill was privatized.

Beautifully landscaped and varied with good paths

These are the Rolvens. Several fens close together. You can enjoy the view and the water lilies from the bench here.

Always new great prospects

Nice excursion restaurant (café/restaurant) in a charming landscape (for hikers and mountain bikers). It is advisable to check whether it is open before visiting.

The bike paths are very good in this corner, the two restaurants at the port of Asselt are cozy and invite you to take a break. Along the Maas there is always room for the Maas to expand.
