Tour of the most beautiful places in South Limburg

Your cycling route starts at Berghotel Vue. You first cycle towards Ingendael: a wonderfully quiet nature reserve with flower-rich grasslands through which the Geul meanders. Here you pass the Sint Gerlach castle, which was built as a monastery in the twelfth century. It was not until the nineteenth century that the monastery was converted into a castle. Then have a cup of coffee at Black Label Hotel, on the outskirts of Valkenburg. You drive to the Voerstreek via Schin op Geul and Slenaken. Along the way you will discover Groenendaal: a large nineteenth-century farm that was once a castle. The Voerstreek is a collection of villages between beautiful green hills. ''s-Gravenvoer, for example, has developed as a ribbon village along the Voer river, with numerous footbridges over the water to the houses.
