Buntven, Deurne
Highlight • Lake
Poor sandy soil here has started to drift due to overgrazing with sheep and sod cutting for the deep litter. The nuisance caused by the drifting sand and the need for wood in the Limburg mines made the State decide to plant Scots Pines in the 19th century. The pure and therefore poor sand has created a rare nature reserve in which lichens naturally grow that can survive as pioneers under very extreme conditions.
Buntven
A scenically attractive place in this forest is the Buntven, an extinct depression in which water remains. Typical plants such as cotton grass and sundew can be found here. However, control measures are necessary to preserve these plants. They are in danger of being displaced by the strawberry that is given more opportunities through food enrichment. Many animal species can move between the northern and southern parts of the forest area without danger via four wildlife tunnels under the provincial road N270. When frost sets in, this place, due to its sheltered location in the woods and shallow water, is one of the first places in the region where you can quickly tie up your skates.
MTB
In the sand forest, mountain bikers will also find an attractive single track that can be easily combined with other tracks in the region, such as those of the Bakelse Bossen, De Bikkels-Vlierden, Liessel, Asten, Gemert and Milheeze. The possibilities are endless.
Nature playground
The sand forest is also a play forest. You can play here in a natural environment, build huts, climb on the equipment, ride on the cable car and on the Viking swing. By using natural elements of the landscape and matching play materials, a challenging and educational play environment has been created. Come and see for yourself and discover the adventure in Deurne!
