Description

Cycling through a hilly landscape with beautiful stream valleys, steep slopes and special limestone caves, that's what South Limburg is all about. This route takes you from hill to hill and through places with a rich history and beautiful sights.

Attraction Valkenburg
Get on your steel steed in Schimmert and set course for Valkenburg via the villages of Hulsberg and Klimmen. Along the way you cycle through a typical Limburg landscape with sunken roads, beautiful standard orchards, half-timbered farms and chapels. Valkenburg is a beautiful city full of nice sights such as a castle ruin, various marl caves that you can visit with a guide and a spa. The cozy center of Valkenburg full of terraces is also highly recommended. Then you cycle further to Houthem, Rothem and Ulestraten.


In South Limburg you will find many church villages, which used to be built around a church. The Limburg culture is still very much alive in these towns and processions and shooting festivals are regularly organized, just like in the past. Take a look at the center of these small villages and get a taste of Limburg's cultural history. 

De Dellen nature reserve
Between Houthem and Rothem you cycle through the De Dellen nature reserve. This area is approximately 70 hectares and consists largely of a high plateau with forests. The highest part of the plateau is used as a military training area, but you can cycle through the rest of the nature reserve without any problems. Along the route you will find green slope forests.
