Dommelbeemden
The Dommelbeemden are, along with the Moerkuilen a forestry area in a bend of the Dommel river northeast of Nijnsel in Meierijstad. It is located at the Lieshoutse Dijk, not far from the A50 motorway. The protected area measures over 100 acres. The Dommelbeemden are part of the larger area Het Groene Woud.[1]
This diverse area was designated as a natural monument in 1977. The most original part and natural state of the Dommel can be found between Eindhoven and Boxtel and hence in the Dommelbeemden. Here the Dommel has still its original winds and meanders and forms a cultural-historical and valuable landscape area.[2]
The Dommelbeemden consist of species-poor meadows with
In the southeast the area connects with the Vresselse Bossen.
The current management is aiming to restore the old landscape of the area as much as possible. The meadows are extensive grazed and Staatsbosbeheer replanted hedges and knotted willows.
