Discover the charm of North Limburg

You can go on wonderful cycling trips in the northernmost tip of Limburg. In this rolling landscape you drive through forests and along the banks of the Maas. And you will find traces of the ancient Romans.

German border
You drive a bit across the border with Germany. On the left is the Reichswald, on the right you look out over rural North Limburg. On the border is L8, a listening point from the Liberation Route. Here you will learn more about the beginning of the Rhineland Offensive in 1945. In Ven-Zelderheide you can see the Rust Na Arbeid, a flour mill from 1881. A little further on you will pass the ancient Roepaen estate. The monastery building, built in 1881, now serves as a cultural center.

Genneper House
From the brook valley of the Niers you drive into Gennep, an old and pleasant town with a fortress past. A little further on, the Niers flows into the Meuse. The Genneperhuis once stood here, a castle destroyed by the French in 1710. A watchtower now stands on the foundations. Just past Middelaar you will come to the Meuse bank past an excavation of a Roman bridge. After your tour you can enjoy a traditional ice cream on the terrace of Clevers IJssalon Plasmolen.
