Bicycle route Brunssum, Landgraaf and Heerlen

Cycling is beautiful around Brunssum and Heerlen. For the first few kilometers, you ride along the Brunssummerheide. South of Landgraaf, you cycle through the area surrounding the former Wilhelmina State Mine. Here, you pass through Park Gravenrode and along the shore of the Cranenweyer, a reservoir in the Anstel Valley. On the way to junction 45, you cycle past the foot of the 225-meter-high Wilhelminaberg. The hill is not the work of nature, but of man: it consists of mine waste that was dumped here between 1906 and 1969. On the edge of the Imstenraderbos, you can have lunch at Boscafe & Pannenkoekenhuis La Diligence, after which the route leads you a short distance through the Geleenbeek Valley. Here, you pass Ter Worm Castle. The route ends at Profile Mohren in Brunssum.
