Loop around Savelsbos, Geuldal and Valkenburg

Your cycling route starts in Sibbe. Near the village of Wolfshuis, you pass the Van Tienhoven Mill from 1855. It is the only mill in the Netherlands constructed entirely of marl. After Cadier en Keer, you traverse the elongated Savelsbos; in this hillside forest, you will see mainly deciduous trees such as sessile oak, beech, common maple, and horse chestnut. Further on, you pass 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. Afterwards, you cycle through Ingendael: a wonderfully quiet nature reserve with flower-rich grasslands through which the Geul river meanders. Dismount briefly in Valkenburg to soak up the atmosphere and perhaps pay a visit to the ruins of Valkenburg Castle.
