Unpaved Path Through the Beegderheide Nature Reserve

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This unpaved cycle path runs through the Beegderheide, a beautiful nature reserve that is perfect to explore by bike. You cycle along sand drifts, through deciduous and coniferous forests and along fens, grasslands and heathlands. The ideal place for a bike ride through a unique piece of Limburg nature!

Maas Riverbank

Highlight • River

Sometimes there is a view of the main stream of the Maas and sometimes there are small arms of the Maas. A play of colors between blue and green, especially when the weather is nice.

Roermond City Centre

Highlight • Viewpoint

Roermond is ideal for a shopping or city stroll. But there are also many beautiful places along the Meuse, some of which are not so crowded.

Roermond Market Square

Highlight • Settlement

On days when there is the weekly market, it might be a bit crowded. Nevertheless, a visit is worthwhile every day and in every season. The old houses around the market square form a beautiful backdrop.

Pure Holland 😊 Inspired by Didada's "Limburg Day Tour," we set off. Gorgeous stretches of route along the water, through forests and fields, mostly off-road – simply wonderful cycling.
