Cycling along the Maasplassen in Central Limburg

You can enjoy cycling along the Maasplassen in Central Limburg. Enjoy the bustle of the lakes and admire the beautiful sights in the surrounding Limburg pictures, such as the white town of Thorn.

The white town of Thorn
The first part of the route takes you from Kelpen-Oler to Ittervoort and Thorn. In Thorn you will find the Zeldenrust mill from 1877. This mill is just the start of all the special sights along the route. The historic city center is full of historic white houses and other buildings.

The Maasplassen
From Thorn you cycle further south. In the charming town of Wessem you cross the Maas towards Maasbracht and Brachterbeek. In the Linnerweerd you will find the castles Heysterum (built in 1740) and Huize Ravensburg (1819). You cycle towards Beegden via the Weir and the locks of Linne and Heel.

Beegden Castle
Beegden Castle used to be located in Beegden, but nothing remains of it. Nowadays you will find a historic farm on the foundations of this castle. This farm and the canal surrounding it were recently restored to their former glory. You cycle through the Beegderheide nature reserve along the De Lange Vlieter lake.

Grand café Bie de Tied
Via the church village of Grathem you return to the start and end point of this route; Grand café Bie de Tied. Here you can enjoy a well-deserved cup of coffee, lunch or dinner. It is a pleasant place to be both in the café and on the terrace. From here you can also follow route 151243.
