Across nature to Venlo

Your route starts at Cafe de Pool in Maasbree. You cycle straight through nature to Venlo. Along the way you discover nature reserves that together form De Greune Lung, De Groene Long in Venlo dialect. Dubbroek, Koelbroek, Kraijelheide (or Craijelheide) and the Boekend are part of this, for example. Meandering streams, lush forests, hedgerows and open landscapes: wonderfully varied! In Venlo you cycle through the old city centre and along the renovated Maasboulevard. You then follow the green banks of the Maas to the south. Steyl is a special monastery village. Here you will find various sights, such as the neo-Gothic Sint-Rochuskerk from 1866, which houses the Limburg Schutterij Museum. Take a ferry across the Maas to Baarlo with its beautiful castles. Via the Boekenderbos you cycle back to your starting point.
