Roermond Market Square

Highlight • Settlement

On days when there is the weekly market, it might be a bit crowded. Nevertheless, a visit is worthwhile every day and in every season. The old houses around the market square form a beautiful backdrop.

We're back in the Netherlands, in the province of Limburg! Today we went to Roermond, explored the city a bit, and then back to the motorhome via Neers! It was great fun, even though it was very 🥵!

Actually, breakfast was planned on the high banks of the Maas in Neer. Was it U-see 😎 too many cars on all streets 🙈

Today we start in Buggenum, there is a good parking option and we cycle through Roermond first. After that it's just pure nature. Few cyclists, wonderful temperatures, water, meadows, fields with countless happy insects! Finally butterflies in thistles, wild marjoram... Magical route, recommended for following! Lots of places to stop for a break ‼️🙏

He immediately asked if we wanted to go inside. It wasn't open, but he had the key and would be happy to open …
