You can listen to the story of the emergency telephone while sitting on a couch.

With its 16 hectares, De Duivelskuil is a rather small but very varied nature reserve. It treats you to a characteristic Kempen landscape. In addition to dry heathland and wet heathland, you will also find some beautiful fens and a piece of bog bog. A moist alder-birch forest and a dry oak-birch forest and also a lot of Scots pine.

Many imaginative stories have been written about this well (not just any well). The first probably dates back to 1571 when Lieske Coolbonders committed suicide by drowning herself in a well when the devil himself chased her. Lieske was the bastard daughter of Katrien Coolbonders who was raped by a Spanish nobleman. The nobleman was murdered by Katrien's husband. The body was first dumped in the Devil's Well. Later it was buried somewhere near it.

In 1695, a man from Reusel was said to have been hanged on a gallows on the Hoge Mouw and later buried in the Duivelskuil.
