Cycle Route ‘Around the Centre of the Mine District’ in Heerlen, is one of the special routes that were designed in the Year of the Mines (2015). These routes show you the reminders of a period in which the south-eastern part of Limburg proudly obtained its wealth from the coal mines. The time frames on the route give you an impression of this significant past. Additionally, the route around Heerlen shows you the elegant castles of Hoensbroek and Terworm, the diversified Brunssummerheide nature reserve and the impressive modern eye catchers in Heerlen city-centre. This varied cycle route starts at the Mine Museum in Heerlen and the separate pdf that you can download, leads you further.
