En bici de Maasbree a Venlo

Spin out of Maasbree, a village in the Peel en Maas municipality, and you’re straight into quiet Limburg countryside—fields, hedgerows, and that big-sky feel. The route is about 11 km and basically flat, gently dropping toward the Maas river, so it’s an easy roll.

It’s a cyclist-friendly line: roughly 90% on dedicated cycleways and 99% paved, mostly smooth asphalt and concrete with the occasional paving stone stretch to keep things interesting. You’ll skim the outskirts toward Boekend/Blerick and then head into Venlo, a historic city on the Maas near the German border.

If you cross the river into the old town, take a moment on the bridge for views of the Maasboulevard. In Venlo, treat yourself to Limburgse vlaai on the Markt, or pop by the Limburgs Museum or Museum van Bommel van Dam. All in all: a relaxed, low-stress ride from village calm to riverside city vibes.
