Budel-Dorplein is a factory village that was built at the end of the 19th century by and near the zinc factory. It was designed by the Dor brothers in the same Walloon architectural style as in the Belgian Borinage. The village was recognized as a ‘protected village view’ and has largely remained authentic. The Loozerheide, between Weert and Budel-Dorplein, was originally a largely wet area with humid heathland and ponds. Over the centuries, the area was drained to make it suitable for agriculture. ARK Rewilding Nederland and Natuurmonumenten jointly ensured that it became a wet nature area again. The Loozerheide is grazed by Exmoor ponies and cattle. They provide a wide variety of tall and low vegetation. Boshoverheide, on the other hand, is a dry area consisting of drift sands, coniferous forests, and dry heathland. Very unique is that here you find the largest burial mound field in Northwestern Europe. In the Weerter- and Budelerbergen you mainly find coniferous forests, dry heathlands, and drift sands. A large part of it is a military training area. Boshoven is part of the city of Weert and consists of several neighborhoods. The center, with the St. Odakerk, has managed to preserve its original rural character.
