Hidden gem in South Limburg: the best view over 'The Tuscany of The Netherlands'

This is the place to be: parking location and walking route

The route to the viewpoint is a sight to behold in itself, but just wait until you arrive. We’re pretty sure your heart will skip a beat too. Keep in mind that the viewpoint is easiest to reach by car or by bike (especially if you're local). Here’s how to get there:

These days, almost everyone uses Google Maps, so simply type in “Moorenheideweg.” Make sure to select the one in Eys. To double-check, have a look at the map: you should see a junction where Moorenheideweg, Krekelbergweg, and Eyserbosweg meet. If you see that, you're in the right place. Once you arrive, pass the huge tree at the intersection and turn onto Moorenheideweg. On your left, you’ll find a small parking area where you can leave your car.

Once you’ve parked your car (or bike), you can follow this route to reach the viewpoint. Leave the parking area and continue walking along Moorenheideweg. On your left, you’ll soon spot a path leading into the forest, take this path and follow it all the way through. Essentially, you’ll cross the forest, just like the orange line shows in the picture. When you reach the edge of the forest, you’ll come to a clearing with a stunning view over the Tuscany of The Netherlands. There’s also a bench here where you can sit down and fully enjoy the scenery. 

When we visited, the moors were bursting with colorful flowers, a perfect bonus for your photos!
