The Venloer Heide is a cross-border natural landscape on the Lower Rhine and the Dutch province of Limburg.
The beautiful heathland is characterized by large areas with beautiful trees such as oak, birch and conifers. The Groote Heide is also surrounded by extensive forests. Part of the area is used as a sports airport for a sailing club. In the past, the area was an air base and was used by the military at times. A memorial is intended to commemorate this dark time at the former Venlo air base. Today, however, the Groote Heide or the Venloer Heide is a popular destination for glider pilots, hikers, cyclists and joggers.
