Experience the familiar nostalgic Christmas atmosphere of grandmother's time on a steam train journey with the special Christmas Express.
Gently, the puffing steam locomotive sets the Christmas Express in motion. Steam heating comfortably warms the nostalgic carriage, while wisps of steam decorate your window on the outside.
Enjoy the beautiful winter landscape of southern Limburg! Simpelveld is home to the beating heart of the Miljoenenlijn. In and around the 110-year-old station building, volunteers will take you back to Christmas in the olden days.
The staff will gladly welcome you here in style with old-fashioned Christmas music and atmospheric decorations. While the children take a look at the Christmas cot on the platform, you can enjoy hot chocolate with a piece of Limburg flan or delicious home-made soup in the station restaurant Brasserie Perron 4.
It is possible to get in or out at any station along the way. From Schin op Geul, it is even possible to travel on Arriva trains for free with your day ticket to Kerststad Valkenburg or Wintertijd Heerlen.
