Opening times and breeding season
Here you can enjoy both impressive nature and the Burgundian lifestyle. This diverse nature reserve, located on the border of Brabant and Limburg, can be explored between sunrise and sunset. During the breeding season, from 15 March to 15 July, part of the area is closed to the public. But you can still wander along the marked walking routes, choosing from different lengths. Or walk among the Shetland ponies on the Grazing Route; this way you can also discover the area during the breeding season. The peace and space inspired a previous visitor to say: “Here you can still walk without meeting anyone!”
Accessible for everyone
With various activities and excursions for young and old, every nature lover will easily enjoy themselves in De Peel. Buitencentrum De Pelen, the visitor centre in Ospel (Limburg), is also well accessible for people with reduced mobility. The family path, a 2-kilometre-long paved route, is particularly suitable for prams, wheelchairs and mobility scooters. Also visit the wheelchair-accessible bird hide. At Natuurpoort De Peel in Deurne you can sit down for a nice piece of cake, a glass of wine or a beer. Enjoy the warmth of the cosy fireplace, or experience the scents of this marshy nature reserve on the lively terrace.
