Want a moment of wow on your route through De Hamert Estate? Then don't miss the Trappenburg viewpoint. You're just a little higher than your surroundings, allowing you to truly read the contours of the landscape: the river dunes, the forests, and sometimes even the contours of the German landscape on the other side. Fun fact: the name Trappenburg doesn't come from an actual castle ruin, as you might think, but from the stepped structure of hills and paths that naturally formed here. Tip: plan this stop around sunrise or sunset. The light makes the view truly magical.

The kind of place where, after a few minutes' walk, you forget you're in the Netherlands. At De Hamert, you'll walk across ancient river dunes from the Ice Age, past vast heathlands and tranquil fens—and suddenly you'll find yourself at a gigantic burial mound: the "Prince's Grave." Thousands of years old. It's quite bizarre to think that people once buried their dead here... and now you're just walking past it. Along the way, with a bit of luck, you'll spot Galloway cattle, numerous birds, and that characteristic silence you can almost literally feel. ✔️ Diverse landscape ✔️ Beautiful vistas ✔️ A touch of mystery & history Tip: take some time at the fens (and if possible, go early in the morning or towards sunset—it's truly magical then).

Very beautiful nature reserve the Maasduinen

Beautiful piece of heathland in bloom (August)

Great view of the nature reserve

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.

It was a pancake house, don't know if it will still open, too bad
