Schaloen Castle

It is one of the most fairytale-like castles in the Netherlands. The moated Schaloen Castle, as it looks now, looks something like a French hunting lodge.
The very first building …

I have adjusted this route because we started from Valkenburg. In this route you cycle more on asphalt and less through forest, but the gravel roads / country roads are sufficient. And here too climbing and descending, but for that you obviously go to Limburg.
