Special nature
Part of this route leads through the green area around Geulle. This area extends between Elsloo and Bunde and covers 144 hectares. Between Geulle and Elsloo it consists of a swamp area. In many places you can even see water bubbling up from the ground. This area is mainly known for the special animals you can spot there, such as the fire salamander, and one of the oldest Dutch badger setts is located here. A fascinating piece of nature, but the rest of the route is also worth it. Enjoy the rolling landscape and the associated views.

Geulle Castle
A little way outside Geulle you cycle past Geulle Castle. The current castle is an outer castle of the former seventeenth-century castle that was demolished in 1847. On the west side is a gatehouse that you can reach by walking over a classic arched bridge. On the other side of the road there are some fence pillars from the eighteenth century. The interior of the castle dates from 1915. Architect W. Sprenger redecorated the building, which also has chimneys in three fragments.
