n the middle of the more than 700 ha large forest of Landgoed Geijsteren is the historical national monument "de Rosmolen". This distinctive water mill dates back to 1667 and is still regularly used to grind grain. Contrary to what the name suggests, the mill is not a real horse mill. The name comes from a nearby farm that included a horse mill, a mill powered by a horse or steed. After it burned down in 1863, the name was transferred to this watermill. Until around 1930, the mill was mainly used to grind grain from the farmers in the area for the bakers from Geijsteren and Oostrum.

Boschhuizerbergen Sand Dunes

Highlight • Natural Monument

hartvanlimburg.nl/de/locatie/boshuizerbergen
The Boshuizerbergen is a 200 hectare area with beautiful nature. The nature reserve northeast of Venray is known for its extensive sand drifts and unique juniper berries.
The area is very unique. The area changes from southwest to northeast. In the southwest, right next to a railway line and surrounded by pine forest, lies the juniper forest, the largest in the southern Netherlands. The oldest junipers are no less than 115 years old. In 1931 this area was threatened with reclamation, but Het Limburgs Landschap set up a foundation to preserve this unique area with its bizarre silhouettes of juniper trees. Discover the most beautiful routes and enjoy the wonderful nature here!

Today we headed towards Venray/Oostrum to explore the impressive, approximately 700 hectare estate and nature reserve Landgoed Geijsteren in the Dutch province of Limburg. After just a few steps on natural ground, we saw the Oostrumsche Beek - a picturesque, approximately 20-kilometer-long stream that gently makes its way into the Maas.

A walk around Geijsteren, through the Geijsteren estate and the Boschhuizerbergen. The Geijsteren estate is a diverse nature reserve with forests, meadows, and fields. The Oostrumse Beek flows through the area, with the Horse Mill watermill on it. The Horse Mill is not a horse mill and never has been. Because a farm with a horse mill once stood near …
