Arcen Historic Centre

Highlight • Settlement

Arcen's picturesque town center offers plenty of places to stop for a bite to eat and many beautiful Limburg houses. A visit during the week is recommended, as it gets very busy on weekends when the weather is nice.

July 30, 2023,Ab Velden/NL die Maas rauf, runter und quer drüber

A fantastic tour along the Maas with two ferries, cafes, restaurants, beautiful towns and villages. Only a few meters to highways. Fantastic !!

August 13, 2023,Maas runter...rüber...Maas rauf...mit Heide-Schlenker vor Arcen

The Meuse again, again beautiful in sunny cycling weather, enough ferries, great bike paths along the banks, dangling through the blooming heath in front of Arcen. As always in Arcen to the Clevers ice cream parlour...great, unfortunately always overcrowded. We'll be back 😄🤗🤩
