Cycling routes
Limburg is a true cycling region. Thanks to the extensive junction network, you can easily create your own route, or choose from ready-made cycling routes. Routes take you along the river Maas and the Maasplassen lakes, through green nature reserves such as Rivierpark Maasvallei and KempenBroek, and through charming villages and towns. This way, you combine nature, culture and relaxation in a single bike ride.
For every cycling enthusiast
A route for every cyclist
Whether you cycle for leisure, ride sportively or want a family route: in Hart van Limburg you’ll always find one that suits you. There are flat paths along the water, more challenging routes through forests and hilly landscapes, and themed routes such as castle tours or long-distance rides along the Maas.
Cycling through towns and villages
Besides nature, the towns and villages are worth exploring. Cycle through the historic streets of Roermond or Weert, take a break in Nederweert or enjoy the peace in small villages such as Herkenbosch and Beesel. Along the way you’ll find plenty of places to rest and taste regional products.
