Cycling in the hilly countryside
The South Limburg Hill Country is a paradise for cyclists. With its rolling hills, picturesque villages, and impressive vistas, a bike ride here feels almost like a holiday abroad. From Valkenburg, you can hop straight on your bike to explore the surroundings and enjoy nature, culture, and Burgundian hospitality along the way.
While roads elsewhere in the Netherlands are flat and straight, the Heuvelland offers challenging hills and winding roads. Famous climbs such as the Cauberg, the Keutenberg, and the Bemelerberg challenge sporty cyclists. At the same time, there are countless routes that take you along quiet country lanes, orchards, and meadows, ideal for those who want to enjoy a relaxed ride.
