Route

Hartje Heuvelland Gulpen-Wittem

Daredevils who brave the steep climbs and swift descents of the Heart of the Heuvelland route, will be rewarded with all of Zuid-Limburg’s treasures on one and the same route. You will come across the charming ‘mountain village’ of Vijlen, the lively villages of Bocholtz and Simpelveld and the authentic Limburg winery ‘Fromberg’ in Ubachsberg. The route continues to the village of Wijlre – with its Brand Beer Brewery – the village of Gulpen, and even crosses the border to Teuven, in Belgium. 

On your way you will be treated to breathtaking views of the green, rolling countryside, shady copses and the best cafés with outdoor seating, for a well-deserved refreshing drink. Whether you start at holiday park ‘Buitenplaats de Mechelerhof’ in the village of Mechelen, or at Hotel-Restaurant ‘Vijlerhof’ in Vijlen, your cycle tour will be spectacular and beautiful from start to finish.
