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.

Wandelen langs oorlogssporen in Kerkrade

In 2019 it was 75 years ago that Limburg was liberated from the German occupation during World War II. This war has also left its mark in Kerkrade. Traces that are still visible: the closely guarded border with Germany in the Nieuwstraat, places where bombers crashed and several war graves.

This route takes you past these places full of history and memory. You will learn more about Kerkrade during the Second World War and then perhaps see the city with different eyes. Please note, the route is not signposted, but the route description can be downloaded.
