Description
From Vierlingsbeek you cycle to the Radioplassen. From 1919 to 1924 there was a radio receiving station here that picked up signals from the Dutch East Indies. Take a break at De Breyerie Eetcafe! Further on you cycle through the Groeningse and Vortumse Bergen, a narrow belt of river dunes on the Maas. Badger dens are hidden in the copses. Thousands of years ago the Maas flowed on the other side of the dunes and the westerly wind blew the sand high up here. The area is part of the Maasheggen, the oldest agricultural landscape in the Netherlands and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. You will see hawthorn and blackthorn hedges here, ideal for keeping cattle in place. The densely woven hedges gave the Romans a lot of headaches, they could not advance here as massively as they were used to!
