Nature and environment
With the variety of moors, sand plains, forests and springs the Lemelerberg is unique. It is with about 1000 hectares the largest nature area of Landschap Overijssel and designated by Europe as Natura 2000. More than 150,000 years ago an ice sheet of 100 to 400 meters thick covered the northern half of our country. In addition, rocks of thousands of kilos were transported from Scandinavia and gradually smoothed or pulverized on the way. The glacier pushed everything inch by inch. This created a hill with a height of 78 meters: the Lemelerberg. From different points you can enjoy beautiful views. Part of the year the heath is grazed by a herd of about 200 sheep. It is a beautiful cycling and walking area. With luck you can see deer, sand lizard, polecat, pine marten, ermine, honey buzzard, hawk, woodlark, tree pipit, nightjar, buzzard and the raven. In winter, the cormorant hibernates here. Poppy, margriet and cornflower bloom in the grasslands.
Hiking trails
There are several beautiful trails on the Lemelerberg:
-The Blue route (8 km)
-The drift sand route (southern slope 3.5 km)
Thanks!
With your stay at the Lemelerberg Lodge we help Landschap Overijssel to protect nature and national heritage in Overijssel, so we can all enjoy it.
