Dutch Mountains - Valkenburg

Although the Dutch province of Limburg has no real mountains, it does have plenty of hills! This area is known as Het Heuvelland, which means “the hilly country”. With its rolling landscapes, winding roads and beautiful views, it is a great area to explore by motorcycle.

Valkenburg is a popular tourist destination with plenty of restaurants, cafés and other facilities. It is an excellent base for exploring the hills and discovering the best of the Dutch Mountains.

With ride 1 of the Dutch Mountains we will take you for 130 km / 80 miles of mainly winding roads through the hills of the province of Limburg. And the first stop is in the capital of the province, with a nice walk so you can taste the atmosphere of this lovely medieval city. And then, we are going to take you across the border into Belgium to a place that used to be called the valley of the devil, but since the 1200 now is described as the valley of god. You can do some proper sightseeing or just have a small walk around or drink or bite to eat at the restaurant just opposite of the road. And our ride 1 ends at one of our recommended accommodations just outside of Valkenburg for a nice refreshing drink on its beautiful terrace.
