Uitkijktoren Mesch

A landmark has been realized on the Mescherhei in the form of a modern watchtower that refers in many different ways to the rich history of the place. Information can be found about the current landscape (use) and that from the distant past. This takes place at a strategic location where many valuable archaeological finds have been made in the area, which in some cases can be called unique for the Netherlands, and which is located on the border of the former two municipalities of Eijsden and Margraten. The place that was already used by reindeer hunters in prehistoric times as a viewing point has regained its function to make people (again) aware of the landscape in which they move. By erecting a tower of 9 meters high, the experience of the panoramic panorama is extra emphasized and the opportunity is created to make information known to a wide audience in a unique way. In addition, in collaboration with local entrepreneurs, an experience orchard has been realized with fruit trees of old varieties and information about this.
