From Beesel along the Maas to Venlo

Along the Maas between Beesel and Venlo it is wonderful to cycle along flowery floodplains. You pass through historic villages, such as Kessel. Here you can see the Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Geboortekerk from 1873. Castle Keverberg is a former ruin that has been beautifully renovated, the building is definitely worth a visit. Further on you can take a trip to the Boekenderbos, where you cycle between the fragrant coniferous trees. Dubbroek is a nature reserve in an old Meuse bed. Here you see ash, pedunculate oak and black alders. Around node 59 you seem to be cycling back in time thanks to some beautiful old farms. In Venlo you cross the Maas and cycle to picturesque Steyl. Back in the historic heart of Beesel, it's time for a drink at Mert 5.
