The former mining area on the border of Kerkrade and Landgraaf has been transformed in recent years into a tourist gem: Park Gravenrode.
This beautiful green area has a surprisingly varied landscape, with forests, streams, a real reservoir, farms and castles. In 2009, Park Gravenrode won the Eden Award, crowning the area as the most sustainable tourist destination in the Netherlands.
Park Gravenrode is formed by the Anstelerbeekdal in Kerkrade and the Strijthagerbeekdal in Landgraaf. Both valleys have steep, wooded slopes.
The less steep slopes are mainly used as grassland and arable land. Castle Strijthagen (Landgraaf) and Castle Erenstein (Kerkrade) are striking monuments in the landscape.
You will also find several beautiful farms in Park Gravenrode: the Winselerhof, the Overste Hof, Nieuw-Ehrenstein and the Brughof. During a walking or cycling trip you can relax here and enjoy a snack and a drink. At the edges of Park Gravenrode are attractions such as GaiaZOO, Discovery Museum, SnowWorld and Mondo Verde.
