메를로완섬 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

이 예배당은 성 윌리브로드(Saint Willibrord)를 수호성인으로 선택했습니다. 그는 7세기 말과 8세기 초에 매우 중요한 선교사였으며, 영국에서 태어나 교육을 받았고, 교황과 왕의 임무를 받아 프리지아인들에게 선교했습니다. 마침내 그는 에흐테르나흐에 수도원을 세우고 그곳의 수도원장이 되었으며, 그곳에 묻혔습니다 (관심이 있다면 => https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/422067 참조). 성 윌리브로드의 기념일은 11월 7일입니다.

South of the area lies the Houthuizerheide, and to the north and west lie the Tienraijse and Swolgenderheide, all largely consisting of reclaimed forests of Scots pine. East of the area lies the town of Lottum, surrounded by several hamlets and numerous rose farms. The Dutch Forestry Commission (Staatsbosbeheer) has established the N-95 walking route. This 9.3 km walk (there is also a shorter route) begins at the parking lot along Horsterweg. The route, along with information about flora, fauna, and nature management, is indicated on information panels. Several routes of the "Stempel van de Maas" (Stamp of the Meuse) trail (later integrated into the Horst aan de Maas KnoppenLopen network) also pass through this nature reserve. Some marshy sections are crossed by boardwalks. The Pieterpad also passes through the area.

The Schuitwater is a 313-hectare nature reserve in North Limburg. It lies between the towns of Swolgen, Broekhuizenvorst, and Broekhuizen, and west of Lottum. It belongs to the municipality of Horst aan de Maas. The Schuitwater is managed by the Dutch Forestry Commission (Staatsbosbeheer). The name of the area is believed to derive from "beschutten" (sheltering), specifically the sheltering of livestock. However, it can also refer to the flat barges used to transport dredged peat. The Schuitwater nature reserve is a remnant of several old Meuse branches. These gradually silted up. From the 18th century onward, peat was dredged in the Schuitwateren. This was then transported using flat barges. After peat extraction ceased, silting up resumed. It is a wooded and water-rich area surrounded by higher sandy soils, with pine, drifting dunes, heathland, and birch forests. The barge waters within this area are: Lottumer Schuitwater and Schuitwater Broekhuizerbroek.
