Route Summary
As the name suggests, a tour through the Mergelland in South Limburg. This is the 43rd and final route in the series of 43 Endangered ANWB routes. These have been published in the Promotors between April 2015 and September 2016.
My 43rd review of a route that I have not made myself, but have driven regularly. I checked all route points and placed them neatly on the road. I have also set the starting point and end point of the route a bit further apart to avoid navigating directly to the end point.
Given the crowds at the weekend, it is advisable to drive this route on a weekday.
!Pay attention; Motorbikes are regularly stolen in South Limburg (Vaals and Drielandenpunt), therefore always lock your motorcycle and in sight. A nice terrace where you can put your motorcycle in sight is Pleinzicht in Klimmen.
Finally, I made the route the same for TomTom, Garmin and MyRoute-app Navigation users.

RouteXpert Review
In the South Limburg hills you imagine yourself abroad. This part of our country has its own character with its steep hills, varied flora and fauna, idyllic old villages with road-crosses. Maria chapels, half-timbered houses, castles and numerous buildings built from marl. It is advisable to get off on the way and enjoy nature (Boswachterij Vaals or the Bunderbos) or to taste the Burgundian culture on one of the atmospheric terraces along the route. (Source: Promoter No. 03-2015). Because I have driven this route several times, and every time I enjoy it, I have rated this route with 5 stars!

About this region
Limburg (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈlɪmbʏr(ə)x] (About this soundlisten)) is the southernmost of the 12 provinces of the Netherlands. The province is bordered by the province of Gelderland to the north and by North Brabant to its west. Its long eastern boundary forms the international border with the state of North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany. To the west is the international border with the similarly named Belgian province of Limburg, part of which is delineated by the river Meuse. The Vaalserberg is on the extreme south-eastern point, marking the tripoint of the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium.
Limburg's major cities are the provincial capital Maastricht (pop. 121,565[5]), as well as Venlo (pop. 101,603) in the Northeast, and Sittard-Geleen (pop. 92,661) and Heerlen (pop. 86,832) in the south. More than half of the population, approximately 650,000 people, live in the south of Limburg, which corresponds to roughly one-third of the province's area proper. In South Limburg, most people live in the urban agglomerations of Maastricht, Parkstad and Sittard-Geleen.
