A beautiful day in the woods of Central Limburg

There are some beautiful forests in Central Limburg. This route takes you through Waterbloem and Het Leudal. You will also pass through charming church villages such as Roggel and Neer.

Water flower
The route starts just below the former peat colony of Helenaveen. You ride your legs along the leafy Helenavaart, a watercourse that was built for the transport of peat. It is also quiet cycling through the greenery along the Deurne Canal. Further on you drive through Waterbloem, a beautiful name for a nature reserve that consists of forest and marshes that are intersected by the Roggelse Beek. Then you will pass the multi-award winning Recreatiepark De Leistert.

Down
In Roggel you pass the striking St. Peter's Church, which partly dates from the fifteenth century. You then cycle through the Het Leudal nature reserve. Here you will find an alternation of wet and dry forests. And silence! You will also pass the Leumolen, an ancient watermill. What a beautiful spot! In beautiful Neer you get off for a stopover at Café Maneslust Biej Mieke. You drive back to the starting point through the rural area around Panningen.
