Tour of the Voerstreek and Noorbeek

Your cycling route starts at Geulhof Mechelen. This route leads you through a beautiful landscape characterized by wooded areas on and around the hills, interspersed with heathland. The Gulp (a tributary of the Geul) and the Voer meander beautifully through the rolling landscape here. Narrow lanes repeatedly lead you to surprising views from the top of the hill. You ride via Mechelen to the Voer region. In Plaat, you pass the Eperhuis, a magnificent eighteenth-century farmhouse. Via charming Noorbeek, you cycle to Mheer, once named one of the ten most beautiful villages in the Netherlands. There, you will see, for example, the seventeenth-century St. Lambertus Church, with the fourteenth-century Castle of Mheer standing behind it. Further on, you cycle past Groenendaal: a large nineteenth-century farmhouse that was once a castle.
