Netherlands Travel - Limburg Province
The Netherlands' southernmost province is Limburg. It is the only province that shares borders with two countries namely, Germany and Belgium. The three-country point (drielandenpunt) atop the Vaalserberg, also known as the Cauberg, is one of the most visited locations by Dutch people. The province's terrain is diverse, with many large rivers, plenty of forests, and undulating hills. It is actually one of the few Dutch provinces with a hilly terrain, so if you are searching for some of the country's most picturesque locations, here is the spot for you.
Maastricht is the capital of Limburg. The Burgundian city of Maastricht is renowned for its amazing ambiance and blend of the ancient and the contemporary. During the Middle Ages, the Romans established Maastricht, which later developed into a significant trading hub. Limburg also has its own regional language called Limburgish.
So through this series of articles, I intend to share our stories and experiences of traveling across the Limburg province of the Netherlands with our fellow photography and travel enthusiasts. I hope they help you plan your travels across this beautiful province!
While it's well known that Amsterdam, the lively capital city filled with canals and coffee shops, is frequently the first (and, let's face it, sometimes the only) stop for tourists in the Netherlands, there are a plethora of other, less-visited locations throughout the nation that are equally as worthwhile. Travelers will be surprised by how diversified the Netherlands' landscapes are for such a small nation.
