This cycle route takes you along the Via Belgica, the old Romanmain road that ran through South Limburg centuries ago.

Along the way, you can take a look at various sights to learn about Roman history in South Limburg.

The starting point of this bike tour is at Maastricht, on the edge of the Belgian border to be precise. He then takes you to the eastern where the German border is. Along the way you will pass through Klimmen and Valkenburg.
