De Leemputten Nature Park

Highlight • Lake

This is a former mining area. The pits are now flooded, and an interesting biotope has developed. You can hike through the area on winding paths. A short loop is 3 km long. The area can also be easily connected to the Zwillbrocker Venn on the German side.

De Leemputten Nature Park

Highlight • Natural

In 1892 a brick factory was established in Groenlo. The clay for the production of roof tiles and bricks was obtained from the clay pits. In January 1975 the end of the Groenlo Stone Age came when the brick kiln stopped production. This 30 hectare area has since developed into a unique area and has been made accessible as the De Leemputten Nature Park through a designated hiking trail since 1978. A diverse landscape with a wide variety of plant and animal species stretches between small lakes.

Leemputtenweg Nature Trail

Highlight • Trail

Swampy landscape, many small black pools with lots of dead wood. Be careful during the mosquito season. We were lucky, it was still too cold.
