A unique landscape
When people think of the Netherlands, they think of flat polders, dykes and long, straight lines. Maastricht Region – also known as South Limburg – tells a different story. Here, the landscape is characterised by hills, sunken lanes, stream valleys and sweeping views. Villages are tucked away amongst the greenery, and within minutes an urban setting gives way to a walking or cycling route through the countryside. A character you won’t find anywhere else in the Netherlands. A walk through the hilly countryside, a cycle ride past vineyards or an afternoon in one of the many nature reserves is never far away.
