Nationaal Park De Peel is a mysterious national park on the border of North Brabant and Limburg. Discover unique natural areas with rare raised bog, marshes, water, heathland, forest and open landscapes. Explore characteristic canals and villages. And meet inventive farmers.
De Peel is a boundless region where restorative nature, a rich hidden history and innovation come together. A place to walk, cycle, unwind and discover something new every time.
Thanks to its abundance of water, wide‑open spaces and tranquillity, the area acts like a magnet for birds. For this reason, Nationaal Park De Peel is internationally recognised as a wetland. Around one hundred bird species breed here, and countless migratory birds stop by for shorter or longer periods in spring and autumn.
In the open areas you’ll find many marsh, heath and water birds, such as little grebe, black‑necked grebe, bittern, teal, garganey, marsh harrier, water rail, nightjar, bluethroat and stonechat. So be sure to pack your binoculars.

The current National Park De Groote Peel is transitioning into Nationaal Park De Peel. This national park focuses on three large nature cores: the European protected areas De Groote Peel, the Deurnese Peel and the Mariapeel. In the surrounding landscape you’ll find the remaining peat areas of Heitrak and ’t Zinkske, the Natura 2000 area De Bult, Klotterpeel, Stippelberg and the Heidsche Peel. Around these lie agricultural reclamation landscapes and villages, each with its own character. Here, nature, legends and innovation blend into one landscape.
