Camping Geelenhoof

Might you like to begin your getaway by getting to know some of the local history? Openluchtmuseum Eynderhoof (10 minutes’ drive) is worthy of your first stop. See how things were done in rural Limburg in the 1900s (breads baked, beers brewed and that sort of thing…). As for your second stop, that'll surely be the city of Thorn (10 minutes), with its white brick houses and big abbey church. You may have had a long journey here, of course, so if you’re in need of somewhere to stretch your legs first and foremost, head along to the paths of Nationaal Park de Meinweg (25 minutes). Along the boardwalk, there are often stunning dragonflies and colourful butterflies flitting around. Nationaal Park De Groote Peel (20 minutes) is another fine option for a day out on the trails, should you still have energy to spend. It may be small, but it’s one of the most bird-rich locations in the west of Europe. Keep your eyes peeled for migrating common cranes and the many resident species like black-necked grebes.
