De Meinweg National Park

De Meinweg National Park is a protected area in the southeastern Dutch province of Limburg, near the town of Roermond. Established in 1995, the park covers approximately 1,800 hectares and is remarkable for its rare terraced landscape—a geologically unusual feature for the Netherlands formed over ten thousand years by the combined action of the Meuse and Rhine rivers and three geological fault lines that pass through the area. The park is bordered on three sides by Germany and forms part of the transboundary Grenspark Maas-Swalm-Nette, a cooperation between Dutch and German conservation bodies spanning roughly 10,000 hectares. De Meinweg is managed by Staatsbosbeheer and is recognized as a Natura 2000 site, reflecting its significant ecological value in the Dutch context.
