Description by the author

Discover Kerkrade like you've never seen it before! Explore a 17 km long cycling route full of nature, culture, and archaeology in the South Limburg landscape. The journey starts at Abdij Rolduc and takes you past hidden historical gems such as Schacht Nulland and villa Holzkuil. Along the way, through the Archeo app, the story of Kerkrade unfolds: from prehistory and Romans to the mining era. At no less than 11 locations, you figuratively step back in time and discover remarkable finds and local stories. Listen to tales about life in Castle Erenstein and the time of coal mining. Enjoy the greenery in the Wormdal and the Anstel Valley, ideal for a fun day out on the bike. The route follows the cycling junction network, making it easy to cycle. Perfect for families, explorers, and anyone who wants to experience South Limburg in a different way.
