View of the Roermond skyline and the Maas River

Highlight • Viewpoint

When driving in the direction of Roermond, you can see the "skyline" of Roermond very nicely before the hustle and bustle begins. If possible, you should probably not drive here on Saturdays.

On days when there is the weekly market, it might be a bit crowded. Nevertheless, a visit is worthwhile every day and in every season. The old houses around the market square form a beautiful backdrop.

Sometimes there is a view of the main stream of the Maas and sometimes there are small arms of the Maas. A play of colors between blue and green, especially when the weather is nice.

September 5, 2023,Aan de Maas – Stauwehr / Schleuse Venlo Runde von Roermond

This tour includes sections on busy roads, which is not so nice. However, the cycle paths are very well developed on these sections.

You can, but you don't have to. Lots of construction sites along the way, lots of bike paths right next to the road. Not my thing. 😉

There is something for everyone on this tour. Typical Dutch dreamy villages taking a nap, lots of water, standing and flowing, horses and donkeys, a windmill and 2 lively towns, unfortunately also in commercial decline but still attractive and inviting to linger.

Our bike tour today went from Tegelen along the Maas. In Steyl we took the ferry and then we went via Kessel to Roermond and then via Bessel back to the starting point. It was a nice tour with perfect weather.
