Nature, channels and plenty of space for action

Nederweert: Nature and channels

The most famous is of course the Groote Peel National Park in Ospel, but the Sarsven, The Banen, Schoor Pits and Weerter Bosch with the Border Memorial Church are also well worth a visit. Furthermore, the area is characterized by its channels. The Noordervaart, Zuid Willemsvaart and Channel Wessem-Nederweert were formerly used for the removal of peat from the Peel and now strongly determine the landscape.
