Peel en Maas (Gemeente Peel en Maas)
Each town has its own characteristics. The municipality's official slogan is: "beleef de ruimte!" (experience the space!).
The towns are situated in the Dutch province of Limburg. This province was part of the southern Catholic parts of the Low Lands. The towns used to be under Belgian, German, and eventually Dutch rule. Each town has a strong local identity and there is a healthy rivalry during the annual carnaval festivities.
