Van Vestingstad naar Vestingstad

Van Vestingstad naar Vestingstad

Cycle from the fortified town of Valkenburg to the fortified town of Sittard (or vice versa). Along the way you can admire the ramparts, city gates, the height castle and other impressive remains from the Middle Ages and you can also enjoy the beautiful South Limburg landscape between the two fortified towns.

Valkenburg and Sittard both have a turbulent past with different rulers. One of these rulers was Walram de Rosse - in his time one of the most combative knights from the noble house of Valkenburg. In Walrams' time, the Land van Valkenburg comprised a large part of what is now South Limburg, including the fortified town of Sittard and Valkenburg. In 2021, Sittard was included by the ANWB in the top 5 of the most beautiful fortified cities in the Netherlands.
