Limburgse Heuvelland and Vaalserberg
Cycling in a hilly landscape with a beautiful panoramic view from the highest point in the Netherlands.
The Landscape
The Limburgse Heuvelland is mainly known for its rolling landscape with vast meadows, slope forests, orchards, half-timbered farms, and sunken roads. The babbling rivers Geul and Gulp naturally wind their way between the hills. In the lush stream valleys, you can find many historical buildings, such as castles, farms, monasteries, and watermills. From the Vaalserberg, the highest point in the Netherlands, you have fantastic views over the beautiful nature reserves and the idyllic villages and hamlets in the area. Just a stone's throw away from the Vaalserberg, you'll find the Three-Country Point, where the borders of the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany meet. It's a symbolic place that illustrates the interconnectedness of these countries.
