Forest Trails in De Maasduinen National Park

Highlight • Forest

South of the Reindersmeer, in the municipal forests, you'll find a wonderful mix of paths for walkers, cyclists, MTB riders, and the more sporty hiker who isn't afraid of sandy hills. A beautiful alternation of nature with a small and usually quiet parking lot nearby on the Wezerweg, approximately halfway between Well and the German border. Those who start here, through the wooded landscape, could not suspect that they would suddenly encounter this impressive lake, so different are the landscapes in some places.

Very varied landscape: heath, forest, sand dunes and lakes. Quiet route, even in high season.

Sandy Plains of Reindersmeer

Highlight • Natural

The beautiful nature reserve Reindersmeer is located in Well (municipality Bergen) and is now part of the National Park De Maasduinen. The Reindersmeer originated in the 1960s as a result of sand mining. At that time, they had begun to win industrial sand for the concrete industry. The Reindersmeer and the Leukermeer emerged from the former sandpits. In contrast to the Leukermeer, where swimming and fishing are allowed, the Reindersmeer is an ecologically sensitive natural landscape.
In the area numerous beautiful hiking and biking trails have been created. A secret tip is the hiking route The Reindersmeer in 4 or 7 km. Half way there, you can cross the lake by means of a ferry (which you must serve yourself). A fabulous experience!
You should not miss the visitor center De Maasduinen! This unique building literally hangs in the old lock basin that connects the Reindersmeer with the Leukermeer. In the visitor wing you can get detailed information about the area and also take a snack.

Heathland between the Reindersmeer and the forest area. The heather simply looks beautiful, especially when it is in bloom 🥰

Reindersmeer Lock

Highlight • Monument

This lock is no longer in use. Between 1971 and 2001, more than 22 thousand ships with sand and gravel sailed through this lock. The lock was counted out of use in 2001. A brasserie (Bosbrasserie In de sluis) and the visitor centre De Maasduinen are located on the inner head.
