Tacking along the German border and Maasduinen

Your cycle route starts with a cup of coffee at the Old Inn. From here you first cycle to the Maas to cycle along the water at Afferden. A little further on you dive into the De Maasduinen National Park at Nieuw-Bergen, a terraced landscape on an elongated, high sandy ridge between the Maas and the German border. It consists of lower and higher sandy soils, the Maas valley and a plateau. Galloway cattle, sheep and goats graze here. You also pass your Bleijenbeek estate. This country estate dates back to the Middle Ages and is located on a rolling river dune. The coniferous forest was created at the end of the nineteenth century. Here and there it is interrupted by meadows and fields. At Siebengewald you meander along the border for a while before returning to your starting point.
