The pleasant surroundings of Arcen

Forests, heathland, river dunes, fens and meadows… cycling across the Looierheide and through the Broekhuizerbroek you will encounter a colourful palette of natural beauty. Special plants, a great diversity of mushrooms and many species of birds can be found in this picturesque part of Limburg. On the other side of the Maas stretches the Broekhuizerbroek. The old Maas meanders provide a unique piece of nature here. In the middle of the meander lies a high drifting sand ridge called De Hondsberg. Halfway along the tour you will pass the castle farm De Gun. On the edge of an old Maas meander, the beautiful building stands out on the edge of a high terrace. Pay attention to the details, such as the beautiful brickwork under the eaves. Tip: take a break along the way at IJssalon Clevers Tienray!
