Arcen's picturesque town center offers plenty of places to stop for a bite to eat and many beautiful Limburg houses. A visit during the week is recommended, as it gets very busy on weekends when the weather is nice.

Beautiful path with a view of the Maas; you can watch ships, with luck spot storks or beavers in the wetlands, or take a detour to Broekhuizen by ferry

We were looking for a tour near Kevelaer and found one on Komoot.
A very beautiful, varied tour through forest and fields and for a long time along the Maas. Unfortunately, we couldn't go through the heath due to flooding. But the detour on the bike path was completely fine.
