Cycling through the area around Heinsberg in Germany

This route takes you from Central Limburg to Heinsberg, the most westerly city in Germany. A route with lots of natural beauty and beautiful German villages.

Dropper mill
The first few kilometres you will drive through Roerdalen, the area around the Roer where the landscape undulates gently. You will find stream valleys and quiet forests here. There is still a friendly atmosphere in the villages. Like in Vlodrop, where you can take a break at Eethoek de Lindeboom. Further on is the Vlodroppermolen, a watermill from 1875. It is located just before the place where the Rothenbach flows into the Roer.

Lake Laprell
The German part of your route is also wonderfully quiet cycling. Here too you will find stream valleys and small forests, such as on the edge of Wassenberg. In this forest you will pass the Wingertsmühle, which originally dates from 1600. You can also admire a few sights in beautiful Heinsberg. Further on you will cycle along the leafy banks of Lago Laprell, a small lake that was created by sand extraction.
