The Teveren Heath covers an area of approximately 4.5 km² west of the town of Teveren in the southern district of Heinsberg along the German-Dutch border and, together with the nearby nature reserves of Rodebach and Brunssummerheide, forms the Heath Nature Park. On the German side, the towns of Geilenkirchen and Übach-Palenberg as well as the municipality of Gangelt border the area, which has been part of the Green Metropolis project since 2008. On the Dutch side lies the town of Brunssum. To the north of the heath is the NATO Air Base Geilenkirchen, the home airfield of the NATO E-3A unit with its AWACS early warning system.

Small jetty over a small pond. On one side of the river there is very white sand on a small hill. When the sun is shining, an ideal picnic spot that almost gives off a bit of a sea vibe.
