Sortie rapide à vélo de Ruremonde à Maasbracht

Roll out from Roermond and cruise south along the Maas for a short, flat 11.6 km hop to Maasbracht. It’s almost entirely on dedicated cycleways, smooth and paved, so it feels relaxed and safe—great for any bike and all levels.

Roermond is a lively Limburg city at the confluence of the Roer and Maas, known for its handsome Munsterkerk, St. Christopher’s Cathedral, and the Maasplassen lake district (the Netherlands’ largest contiguous watersports area). You’ll skirt parts of those lakes as you go, with easy waterfront detours for a coffee or a quick photo.

The route keeps things pancake-flat with barely any climbing, mostly on asphalt and concrete, with a few paved-stone stretches near towns. Expect quiet segments through villages like Herten and Linne before you roll into Maasbracht.

Finish at Maasbracht’s impressive inland harbor and lock complex on the Juliana Canal—perfect for watching hefty barges glide by. Grab a drink on a terrace by the water and soak up the working-river vibe before heading back or onward.
