Description
This wine walk starts at St. Christopher's Cathedral. Just behind this you can conveniently park in the Kazerneplein parking garage. You can walk straight into the center via a pedestrian tunnel. Take a look at the Rat Tower, the last remaining tower of the city wall from 1300.
The cathedral is also a nice place to visit. This is the oldest part of Roermond, there used to be a castle there. A strategic place: you had a good view from this small hill, exactly at the point where the Roer flows into the Maas. Climb the tower for a beautiful view over the Maas.
Take a look at the Market and the Town Hall. Note the tower with the statues that rotate every day at 12 o'clock.
Restaurant Sabero is nearby. Nico and Sonja Boreas had a good restaurant in Heeze for years, but wanted a smaller-scale address to really pamper their guests. You can see the chef at work in the open kitchen, where you can also sit at the bar. Be sure to taste his fish dishes! They have selected the most beautiful wines to match the dishes with care and passion.
On the Roerkade you pass Hotel Dux with Bistro Two. A nice place for a terrace on the quay, or remember this address for an aperitif tonight in the rooftop bar!
Nearby you cross the Roer via the centuries-old Stone Bridge, now a bicycle and pedestrian bridge with a beautiful view of the city.
On the other side of the water you walk into Voorstad Sint Jacob, a nice historic neighborhood that dates back to the Middle Ages. You can easily walk past Toff, food and drinks, a nice little restaurant with an equally small menu. There is a nice French atmosphere on the terrace under the trees.
You continue walking past Het Witte Kerkje. A little further on, the ECI power station forms a nice contrast with the historic buildings. In this former hydroelectric power station you will now find the ECI Culture Factory and nice places to eat something. Like restaurant ONE. Take a seat at the Chef\\\'s Table in the kitchen or actively cook with Chef For One Day. With a beautiful terrace on the Roer for your aperitif.
Further on you will discover another culinary hotspot: Kasteeltje Hattem, in the city park. The smallest castle in the Netherlands. Here you will find a stylish restaurant with refined and surprising dishes from French and Mediterranean cuisine.
A little further you walk through the Oude Kerkhof of Roermond. Very special because of the clearly visible division by religion, the large number of burial vaults (53!) and the abundance of wrought and cast iron. Be sure to visit 'the grave with the hands', a creative solution to show love in a mixed Protestant-Catholic marriage even after death. A large male hand and a delicate female hand with a lace cuff reach towards each other over the dividing wall. A tour with or without a guide is worthwhile.
If you walk back towards the center you will pass the Cuypershuis, where the famous Roermond architect Pierre Cuypers takes center stage. Then you will view a beautiful restoration work by him: the Onze Lieve Vrouwe Munsterkerk.
Near the church you walk past Damianz, in the former prison Het Arresthuis. With a beautiful terrace, the Luchtplaats. A nice, quiet spot in the city with a Mediterranean atmosphere, thanks to the olive trees and the sound of rippling water. The Chefs menu with all signature dishes is recommended. There is a special wine list with a selection of organic wines, they are happy to advise you.
Also visit Wijnhandel Jean Berger. The fourth generation is now at the helm here. The medieval wine cellar is a wonderful place for a tasting!
