Description

On the banks of the Maas you will find beautiful nature reserves in old Maas channels. The landscapes vary from wetlands to moist grasslands and forests. Add to that authentic Limburg villages and you have an area where cycling enthusiasts will enjoy their day.

The Schuitwater and the Houthuizerheide

This route takes you through the Schuitwater, a nature reserve with low-lying wet areas and higher-lying forests, heaths and sandy soils. Water used to flow through this Maasgeul, but over the years the channel has dried up. In 2003, beavers were released in this area. These beavers and their young still live in this area. So keep an eye out to catch a glimpse of these critters. The Houthuizerheide is adjacent to the Schuitwater. Don't be confused by the name of this area. You will find a forest here, no heaths.

Drinking tea between the blueberries

The start and end point of the route is in Broekhuizen near Blue Berrie Hill. In this cozy tea house you can unwind from your trip with a cup of tea and a piece of blueberry pie. The tea house is located between fields of blueberries. Then you also understand where the tea house owes its name. In July and August you can pick your own berries in the fields.

Rose splendor in Lottum
On this route you cycle through the rose village of Lottum, among other things. Every year about 200 million roses are grown in and around this village. In the summer months, the rose fields around the village are in bloom, a beautiful sight to see. Give your eyes a living as you cycle past this floral splendor and be sure to sniff the wonderful scent of the flowers.
