Maastricht Geuldal and Maas Valley Route

For true nature lovers, a bike ride from the historic heart of the city of Maastricht through the breathtaking Limburg hilly landscape is a must. Enjoy the many natural beauties such as the vast green meadows, the gardens around Château St. Gerlach and the colourful high-stem orchards while cycling through the picturesque villages. Experience the glow of yellow marlstone in the beautiful characteristic buildings, see Geuldal lambs grazing and rest along the way on one of the many terraces. The ideal environment for cycling! From the start of the historic St. Servaas Bridge, the cycle route leads you to the outskirts of Maastricht. Here you will find the beautiful natural beauty of the Limburg Geuldal with rolling hills, forests and meadows. On the route you will also pass Ronald McDonald Kindervallei. This special creation by Friedensreich Hundertwasser guarantees a relaxing dream stay for families with a child with a disability. Be sure to visit the Valkenburg Coal Mine. Discover the world of mining here and listen to all the exciting stories about Het Zwarte Goud. After a number of breathtaking climbs and descents you can enjoy a cup of coffee with Limburg pie or a farmer's lunch at various cozy, authentic cafés such as Café't Plateau. During the last part along the Maasdal you can still admire the special contours of the Gouvernementgebouw, the Bonnefantenmuseum and the architectural highlights of the modern Maastricht district Céramique.
