Discover all the regions of Zuid-Limburg

Different from the rest of The Netherlands to the south, Zuid-Limburg borders on the foothills of the Ardennes (Belgium), High Fens (Belgium), and Eifel (Germany). This gives the region its character, which is not typical for the Netherlands at all; Zuid-Limburg’s wide and gently rolling hills are in strong contrast with the otherwise thoroughly flat Dutch landscape!
