A trip to Heel

You don't always have to travel many kilometers to experience a lot. The proof: this short route through the Limburg Heel and the Maasplassen.

Nederhoven Castle
In Heel you immediately see some beautiful old farms. You will also pass Nederhoven Castle, a moated hunting lodge on the north bank of the Sleijbeek. The current castle was built in 1614 on the foundations of the original house from the fifteenth century. Just behind the castle you pass a beautiful monumental farm from 1850. You cross the Maas via a lock complex and drive to the Linnerweerd via a bicycle bridge over the weir complex. Take a look around you for a beautiful view.

Linnerweerd
The Linnerweerd is one of the few remaining natural floodplains of the Meuse. You will see two eighteenth-century country houses: Ravensberg and Heysterum, which stands on the foundations of a medieval castle. On the edge of Linne you will see the beautiful sixteenth-century St. Martin's Church. In Heel you will pass the St. Stephen's Church, a beautiful building whose tower dates from the twelfth century. A little further on, you can enjoy a well-deserved drink on the terrace at Lenny\\\'s ice cream and coffee shop.
