Romeinse hoogtepunten in Simpelveld

Romeinse hoogtepunten in Simpelveld

This walking route contains a literal and a figurative highlight. After a steep climb you reach 'the roof of the Netherlands', where you enjoy a beautiful view. Views over this landscape give you a glimpse into the past. It was the Romans who developed this area on a large scale for agriculture. All those fields are Roman heritage. There is also an archaeological highlight from Roman times, because you pass the site of one of the most important Roman finds in the Netherlands: the lady of Simpelveld.

After the short but tough round, you can treat yourself to coffee with 'Roman' pie.
