Roermond and its surroundings

Roermond (- Remunj)

The city of Roermond , or ‘Remunj’ in the local dialect, lies in the heart of the province of Limburg, right at the point where its namesake, the Roer river, flows into one of the main waterways of the Netherlands, the Maas.
Lying right on one such waterway it naturally has a long and rich history as a trade city, eventually being associated with the Hanseatic League.
The charm of Roermond doesn’t end at its history however, from experiencing the wonderful natural environment to treating yourself (oneself) at the Designer Outlet, there’s plenty of reason why Roermond has gained immense popularity as a weekend get-away destination.

Culinary
Roermond has a vast array of wonderful restaurants and we are happy to help you select the perfect fit for your culinary desires.

Water sports
The Maas, Roer and Maasplassen offer a great number of ways to enjoy the water, in whichever way you like. These options range from a leisurely boat tour to an exciting afternoon of windsurfing or canoeing and so much more, most of which can be booked at the harbours or banks of the Maasplassen.

Nature
Less than a few kilometres from our city centre (,) you can find yourself surrounded by nature’s glory in National Park De Meinweg, made up of forests, heaths and fens.
The National Park can be explored both on foot or by bicycle and outside of a small selection of protected areas, is the whole area available for exploration. For a longer visit to De Meinweg we recommend Boshotel Vlodrop.
