Between forests and brew kettles in northern Limburg

Description

At the Achelse Kluis you start in the silence of the abbey forests in the far north of Limburg. You cycle along a former railroad line towards Pelt and Kleine-Brogel, through fragrant pine forests and rural open meadows and fields. Further along the route, the Bocholter Brewery Museum immerses you in the rich Belgian beer history, right next to the contemporary Martens Brewery with its impressive street-art facades. Along the idyllic Zuid-Willemsvaart you pedal in peace towards the Dutch border, where traces of the former Doodendraad give the landscape a historical, but sinister edge. Between forest scents, towpaths, horse pastures and quiet villages, you can taste the soul of the Limburg Kempen on this route. Back at the Achelse Kluis, the serene abbey site awaits with brewery and - of course - a glass that perfectly rounds off the story of this region.
