Unique wetland in northern Limburg
Unlike other nature reserves, this 540-hectare nature reserve has been shaped not only by the force of nature, but also by ingenious water management. The result? A beautiful landscape where water plays the leading role and where you can wander through forests, lowlands and along nature-rich lakes.
Natural buffer against high water
Maaspark Ooijen-Wanssum serves as a natural buffer against the whims of the Meuse. High-water channels fill up first when the river overflows its banks, and gradually the whole area fills up. This unique phenomenon creates a spectacular spectacle, where you come face to face with the untouched power of nature.
