Your cycling route starts in Sibbe. Near the village of Wolfshuis you will pass the Van Tienhoven mill from 1855. It is the only mill in the Netherlands that was built entirely of marl. After Cadier en Keer you cross the elongated Savelsbos, in this sloped forest you mainly see deciduous trees such as pedunculate oak, beech, maple and horse chestnut. Get off at De Kwizzenjèr in Gronsveld. Further on 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 you cycle through Ingendael: a wonderfully quiet nature reserve with flowery grasslands through which the Geul meanders. Get off in Valkenburg to soak up the atmosphere and perhaps visit the ruins of Valkenburg Castle.

Eating out in the Eijsden region? On to De Kwizzenjer: an eatery with the quality of a restaurant in Gronsveld. They recently opened an ice cream parlor here: Kwizz-ies. The menu changes four times a year and the dishes are often served with a twist. Just order the risotto, club sandwich or Limburg chicken fillet and taste the difference. Everything is made with really fresh and local ingredients. A nice base for the Meuse valley or the beautiful hilly area around Savelsbos!
