Deurne offers a range of ways to spend your stay: a municipally protected townscape, geological themes, water and historical connections. To plan your visit, you can first decide whether you would prefer to spend time outdoors, explore a nature theme in a fun way, or learn about cultural history through a collection and early references to a church. This lets you tailor the focus of your visit to your interests.

A protected townscape and outdoor activities

Kastelenlandschap Deurne, a municipally protected townscape, is located at Haageind. The area is used for walking and cycling. This brings together its protected status and two specific ways to enjoy it. If you would like to spend time outdoors, you can first consider whether walking or cycling better suits your plans. Toeristisch Deurne offers route maps for cycling, walking, mountain biking and horse riding. The map selection therefore covers four types of activity. Before you go, check which maps are currently available for your planned activity.

Geology and water at Ossenbeemd

Geological connections and water are the distinct themes at Ossenbeemd. The Ossenbeemd visitor centre provides information about the Peelrandbreuk. An outdoor electronic game introduces the geological fault line in a fun way. By contrast, the “De weg van het water” activity focuses on the importance and use of water, which can also be explored in a fun way. This distinction between the themes can help you choose: the electronic game explores the Peelrandbreuk, while “De weg van het water” focuses on water. You can therefore plan your visit around the topic that interests you most.

Historical points of reference

The collection at De Wieger Museum is based on the estate of Hendrik Wiegersma. The first references to a church in Deurne, found in a papal charter from 1069, offer a different historical connection. These details provide distinct perspectives: one concerns the origins of a museum collection, the other an early documentary reference to a church. If you enjoy exploring history through its different forms of documentation, you can choose between the history of a collection and a dated reference in a charter.

Excursions and individual visits

Holten’s Molen offers excursions for schools, businesses and groups. If you are planning a visit for one of these groups, it is best to confirm the arrangements before you travel. Natuurpoort De Peel offers various outdoor activities by reservation; take this requirement into account when planning. The two options are therefore suited to different types of visit: an excursion with one of the groups mentioned, or a reserved outdoor activity.

At Bijzonder Brabants, individual visits are possible to a garden where more than 100 unusual vegetables are grown outdoors. This offers a distinct way to explore food and cultivation, alongside the geological, historical and landscape themes. If you are planning a visit to the garden, check in advance whether visits are currently possible.
