De Groote Peel National Park

De Groote Peel National Park is a protected area spanning the border between the Dutch provinces of Limburg and North Brabant in the southeastern Netherlands. Established in 1993, the park encompasses approximately 13.4 square kilometers of what is one of the last remaining largely uncultivated raised bogs in Western Europe. The park preserves a distinctive landscape shaped by centuries of peat extraction, featuring a mosaic of inaccessible peat swamps, open lakes, heathland, and sand ridges. This wetland ecosystem has become renowned as one of the most bird-rich areas in Western Europe, supporting significant populations of breeding birds and serving as a critical stopover for migrating species during autumn. The park is managed by Staatsbosbeheer, the Dutch State Forestry Service, and holds Ramsar Wetland status since 1980, recognizing its international importance as a biodiversity hotspot.
