    With over 5,100 hectares, the Reichswald is the largest contiguous forest area in the Lower Rhine region. It is not only a recreational area but also home to many species of animals and plants as well as the region’s drinking water reservoir. Welcome to Groesbeek, with the largest wine-growing area in the Netherlands. Here, seven wineries share about 10 hectares of land. It is not called the "Tuscany of the Netherlands" for nothing.
