Brunssummerheide Cycle Route

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The name Brunssummerheide is used for an approximately 600 hectare nature reserve of the Vereniging Natuurmonumenten; this concerns in particular the so-called Schrieversheide. On the other hand, this is also the name for the approximately 1,800 hectare recreational area in which this nature reserve is located. The recreational area 'Brunssummerheide' is located in the province of Limburg, in the southeast of the municipality of Brunssum and neighboring municipalities of Heerlen and Landgraaf. Recreational use includes walking, cycling, golfing and horse riding. There is also an observatory there.
The area also includes the Landgraaf Brunssummerheide, a defensive structure over a kilometer long.

Beaver dam in the Rodebach Nature Reserve (Gangelt / Mindergangelt)

Highlight • Natural

In the meantime, the large beaver dam has been removed by the municipal workers because it caused flooding on the Dutch side and on the cycle path. Fortunately, the master builders are building new ones in other places.

Rapids on the Wurm

Highlight • River

The Wurm is a 53 km long river and flows into the Rur. The name is said to come from the time of the Celts and means something like "warm", since the worm also comes from thermal springs.

At this point, the Wurm shows small rapids.

Wonderful circular route through nature on cycle paths. Great trail through much of Brunssummerheide. Across the golf course and along many lakes.
With my hood ornament it's twice as much fun!

Today, on my last day of vacation, I went for another nice walk, experiencing many routes I knew from hiking in a different way. With great cycling weather, it was a lot of fun; a truly fantastic tour. In the Schutterspar on the Roode Beek, I saw a roebuck not 7 meters away from me, which just looked at me …

Today we should go to the plains to relax! For this purpose, I had set myself the Teverener and Brunssumer Heide as goals and then connected them with a small round around the NATO Air Base Geilenkirchen. It all started in Übach-Palenberg.
The heathland there is very beautiful ... only did I have to ride my bike right in the …

Today my little radiator mascot unfortunately wasn't with me. It was too warm.
I had to complete this beautiful nature loop by myself. I can only recommend it.
Little road and good bike paths.
