Holiday home in Beers: Nature, History and Family Experiences

Beers combines a remarkable history of churches and estates with a flat landscape, varied routes and experiences on the water. If you are looking for a holiday home in Beers, you will find opportunities here for all kinds of holiday days: historic buildings, encounters with animals, walks, cycling tours and activities at the Kraaijenbergse Plassen.

Churches and historic estates

The oldest part of the present-day H. Lambertus Church in Beers is a 15th-century tower. The present church was built in 1890 as a Neo-Gothic, three-aisled cruciform church based on a design by C. Franssen. The parish of H. Lambertus in Beers is also mentioned as early as 1308. This means that the town’s ecclesiastical history reaches significantly further back than the present church building.

Ossenbroek is a historic 18th-century estate and is protected by the state as a listed historic estate complex comprising various elements. The house and its immediate surroundings are not accessible to visitors for reasons of privacy; however, the house is clearly visible from the public road. The listed farm complex De Tienmorgen was completely restored in 2010.

Family experiences and animals

De Tienmorgen offers a particularly direct introduction to farm life: at the petting farm and in the rabbit cuddle corner, children can freely move among the animals, pet them and play. At Hoeve de Hulsdonk, you can see pigs. Both locations are ideal for holiday days centred around discovering animals.

Hiking and cycling in the Beerse Overlaat

De Beerse Overlaat is a former lowering of the Meuse dike near the village of Beers. Its flat landscape is suitable for cycling, hiking or picnicking. Various routes are available for walks: the “Ontdek het buitengebied van Beers” route is 10 kilometres long, while “Vogels spotten” covers 8 kilometres and is intended for birdwatching at the nature lake of the Kraaijenbergse Plassen.

Landgoed de Barendonk is also a historic private estate and an attraction in its own right. Several walks ranging from 3 to 5 kilometres start there. Several cycling and hiking routes start at Natuurpoort De Bungelaer in Beers. The “Natuurpoort De Bungelaer: Ontdek Maasheggen UNESCO” cycling route starts at Natuurpoort De Bungelaer, De Bungelaar 4 in Beers. The different route lengths help you put together active days that suit your own plans.

Water activities and a break in the village

At Ceulemans on the Kraaijenbergse Plassen near the village of Beers, activities such as sailing with boat hire, canoeing and raft building are offered. This adds another form of leisure activity on the water to the paths through the landscape. For a break in the village, ’t Wapen van Beers is a cosy village café in the heart of Beers. The café has a terrace and a large garden; it is also suitable as a stopover for cyclists and hikers.

Choose accommodation to suit your holiday day

When choosing a holiday home in Beers, you can base your decision on the mix you want: church and estate history, animal experiences, flat landscapes, hiking and cycling routes or water activities. The specific locations open up a range of day plans, without requiring you to commit to just one type of holiday. This makes Beers appealing to travellers who want to discover culture, experience animals with children, or combine exercise and relaxation.
