Reflection in The Narrowest Piece of the Netherlands
'The Narrowest Piece of the Netherlands, wide enough to fully enjoy'. That is how the municipality of Echt-Susteren presents itself because of its unique location. Literally where the Netherlands is narrowest, between Belgium and Germany, it is no wider than 4.8 kilometers.
Here, plenty of attention is paid to quality of life, relaxation and reflection. This is where this reflection cycle route comes in handy. The reflection cycle route is split into two loops and is largely based on the well-known cycle junction system. Along the way you will come across different stories, museums and relics.
The religious heritage is also well represented in this part of South Limburg. While cycling the north loop (47.2 kilometres), you will pass the Sint-Landricus Church in Echt, the Lilbosch Abbey in Pey or the Karmelietessenklooster in Echt. Are you cycling the south loop (33.1 kilometers)? Then enjoy the views of the Koppelberg in Dieteren, the St. John the Baptist church in Nieuwstadt or the ancient St. Amelberga basilica in Susteren.
Of course, the avid cyclists can combine both loops for an extensive bike ride of 72.3 kilometers in total. You will be amazed by the beautiful nature, the beautiful views and of course the various cozy terraces to take a break.
The route starts at Salvatorplein, where you can also easily park. Download the reflection cycle route of Het Nalste Stukje Nederland via 'downloads from the author' or pick it up at one of the Visit locations.
