The Vief Heringe Veldjwanjeling Sittard

Your route starts at Buitenplaats De Vief Heringe. The Stadspark Sittard was completed in 1933, it was a job creation project. The beautiful park has been a national monument since 2000. You walk here in the valley of the Geleenbeek, a watercourse that you follow for a bit. After a tour of the park, you will return to your starting point for a nice lunch before continuing with the rest of the route. You will need some fuel, because here you walk up the Kollenberg, a hill that is rich in history. The Sint-Rosa chapel was built here in 1675 at the highest point. This chapel is dedicated to Rosa van Lima, the patroness of Sittard. During the time of the goat riders, robbers often gathered in the chapel.
