Beech Forest Near Höngen

Highlight • Forest

Beautiful little beech forest that invites you to relax and unwind.
You can very well plan for a hike to the westernmost point of Deutschlads in your route.

Highland cattle pasture at the Rodebach

Highlight • Natural

The Roode Beek, also Rode Beek (German: Rodebach or Rothenbach), is a stream in the Dutch-German border area. It is a tributary of the Geleenbeek and flows through the German Kreis Heinsberg and the Dutch province of Limburg. The stream has two upper courses: a right upper course that rises near Siepenbusch, a village in the German municipality of Übach-Palenberg, and a left upper course that rises in the Brunssummerheide nature reserve, southeast of Brunssum. Both branches merge at Mindergangelt and then continue as one stream that flows into the Geleenbeek at Dieteren. The Roode Beek has a number of small side streams, including the flooded stream that used to flow through the center of Brunssum, the Merkelbekerbeek (Merkelbeek) and the Ruischerbeekje. In several places the stream forms the national border between the Netherlands and Germany. The area of the Roode Beek forms, in addition to that of the Geul and the Geleenbeek, one of the three most important stream valleys of South Limburg.

Beaver dam in the Rodebach Nature Reserve (Gangelt / Mindergangelt)

Highlight • Natural

In the meantime, the large beaver dam has been removed by the municipal workers because it caused flooding on the Dutch side and on the cycle path. Fortunately, the master builders are building new ones in other places.

View of Roermolen

Highlight • Viewpoint

On the Rodebach between Süsterseel and Gangelt lies lonely the idyllic homestead Roermolen near the forest on Dutch terrain and far from the noise and bustle. The view of the mill located on Rodebach is an insider tip from the western tip and indeed the lucky place No. 11 in Selfkant.

Small Bridge Over the Rode Beek

Highlight • Bridge

Today, after the watermills have stopped grinding, the region is striving to become a destination for gentle tourism with the 700-hectare Rodebach / Roode Beek nature and landscape park on both sides of the state border.

Sittard Market

Highlight • Settlement

Start your ride with a coffee or end your cycling day with a beer on one of the terraces of the cozy market square in Sittard. On Thursdays and Saturdays, you strike gold, because then there is plenty to feast on from one of the market stalls.
