Discover surprising nature

Kerkrade is surprisingly green. Cycle or walk through the rolling Anstel valley or explore the Worm valley, which we share with our German neighbours.

Bokkenrijdersroute KR1 Kerkrade

In Limburg, the eighteenth century was the era of the Goat Riders: the legendary band of robbers that took its name from the mythical figures who thundered through the air on goats. You will not encounter robbers on this route; but dense forests and monastery walls that make you feel like you are back in those legendary times.

The beautiful abbey of Rolduc has its own brasserie where you can enjoy a delicious lunch in a special environment. Also note the Baalsbruggermolen on the meandering border river Worm - this is the only abbey mill in the Netherlands. Download the route description of this walking route and imagine yourself as a real goat rider in the beautiful woods of Kerkrade.
