The environment  
Helenaveen
Entering our village Helenaveen, you will instantly feel yourself comfortable. Soon you will experience that you won’t have to search long for a marvellous piece of nature. At a glance you will see the canal the “Helenavaart”. In the period that peat extraction wasthe most important activity in this area, this canal was used for transporting the peat.

Now there are small roads on both sides of the canal, connected to each other by
small bridges. Over the years the “Helenavaart” has become an area of outstanding natural beauty, indispensable in the area. Alongside this canal you will find our Bed and Breakfast “De Oranjehoeve”.

Mariapeel en omgeving. The "Deurnese Peel"
Within a radius of less than 10 kilometres you will be   able to undertake several activities. The “Deurnese Peel” and “Mariapeel” are within walking distance from “De Oranjehoeve”. In these areas you will find several clearly signposted walks. In the “Deurnese Peel” you will enjoy the marvellous dense forest and a pond called the “Carpervijver”. Around this pond you will also find several signposted walks.

The "Mariapeel"
The “Mariapeel” is for those people who really want to discover the true nature of “De Peel”. Much water and swampy areas, reed and heathlands which flourish
 in September. Also outside the holiday season, you will
have the opportunity to get a breath of fresh air or to
take a rest.


Fietsen en wandelen.

Ride a bike and walking.
Especially on your bike tour you will be able to enjoy the beautiful environment. The well-known cycle track that is based on nodes comes along our Bed and Breakfast. Since one year, also signposted walks are based on nodes.
