7 Summits Kattenroth-route

7 Summits Kattenroth-route

This route is part of the 7 Summits , the seven steepest mountain peaks in South Limburg. It is a circular walk of 8.5 kilometers with a maximum height of 209 meters.

The Saint Brigida pine near the church is a good landmark, because Noorbeek is well hidden in a valley. In 1634 the inhabitants promised Saint Brigida that they would place a pine in front of her chapel every year, if the cattle disease that plagued Noorbeek and the surrounding area would to disappear.

The cattle disease disappeared and the cattle were spared - and this promise has been kept true ever since.

Noorbeek was part of the County of Dalhem for a long time, with 's Gravenvoeren on the other side of the mountain as its capital. The river Noor that rises here flows via Altembrouck Castle to Belgium where it flows into the Voer.

But the direct route to 's Gravenvoeren runs over the Kattenroth, a ridge that forms the border here. Climb this top from the church in Noorbeek and descend on the south side. You immediately feel abroad.

In winter, low-hanging patches of fog can shroud the top in mist, but in good weather you can overlook the entire Voer region. Please note, this route is not signposted.
