This route’s main attraction is the Abbey of Val-Dieu, which means a quick hop across the border into Belgium. Starting from Valkenburg or Gulpen, you’ll cross into Belgium early on and climb a few hidden gems like Hagelstein and Mabrouck before dropping down to the Abbey. It’s a great mid-ride stop, whether you're after a cold beer, a coffee, or a soft drink. Just keep in mind there's still about 45 kilometers left on the route.
On the return leg, the climbing continues with Côte de Rosmel, Les Waides, and La Heydt. The Altenbroek climb gets you back into the Netherlands, and the Bemelerberg wraps it all up before your final descent into Valkenburg.
