Roermond as home base

Cuypers understood like no other how a building should sit within the landscape. He used nature as a frame for his art. Cycle out of the city, and you see this interplay perfectly. Along the Maas lakes, his church spires act as proud beacons reflecting in the water.

 

Venture into the forests of the Roer region, and castles like Aerwinkel feel almost mysterious, hidden among ancient trees. In Hart van Limburg, architecture and nature flow seamlessly together. It is the perfect backdrop for a voyage of discovery on two wheels.
