National Park Meinweg
STICHTING INTERNATIONALE WERKKAMPEN
Naturschutzstation Haus Wildenrath
Wegberg, Germania
Descriere
The Meinweg is a beautiful piece of nature of approx 1800 hectares. It is located in the easternmost corner of Central Limburg and is enclosed on three sides through Germany. The name "Meinweg" originated from the Celtic word "gemeyne", which means "together". It was the "Gemeinde Weide" of the 14 villages that controlled and used the area. Now there are 6 of these villages in the Netherlands and 8 villages in Germany. The Meinweg National Park is of great significance geologically, due to the terraced landscape that is unique for the Netherlands, with three steep transitions between the various terraces. These were created by erosion of the sediments deposited in the distant past by Rijn and Maas and by shifts in the earth's crust. Volunteers will be working on several options: 1. Environmental activities in the National Park de Meinweg 2. Restorational activities at the environmental protection station Haus Wildenrath 3. Promotion of the national Meinweg and the Grenspark.
