Description
The Limburg village of Montfort may be located in the narrowest part of the Netherlands, but you will find plenty of nature here. This route takes you through the Munningsbos and the Haeselaarsbroek. You will also pass through charming German villages such as Waldfeucht and Saeffelen.
Dragonflies
In this border area you cycle on low-traffic roads and paths through a gently sloping landscape of forests, fields and meadows. How peaceful it is here! Just past Koningsbosch you pass through the humid Haeselaarbroek. This former swamp is now one of the most valuable dragonfly areas in the Netherlands.
Munningsbos
In Montfort you will pass the Roerdriehoek Museum. This museum is dedicated to local history during the Second World War and is open every first Sunday of the month from 10am to 2pm. The Munningsbos (dialect for monks' forest) is located on both banks of the Vlootbeek. Conifers, oaks and alders grow in this old and untouched forest. It is wonderful to cycle here, now and then a woodpecker breaks the silence with a drumbeat or a laugh.
