Looking to enjoy the Limburg Hill Country? Then park at a natuurtransferium!

On certain days, the characteristic village streets and country roads that the Limburg Hill Country has to offer. This became extra apparent during the coronavirus crisis. To better spread out the crowds of people, car drivers and motorcyclists can make use of the natuurtransferium locations.

A natuurtransferium is a parking facility for a large number of cars and motorcycles on the outskirts of nature reserves, such as the Limburg Hill Country and the border territories in the Meuse valley. By restricting the flow of motorized traffic, everyone can continue to enjoy nature. So make sure you park at the edge of the nature reserve and continue your journey on foot or by bicycle. We asked Visit Zuid-Limburg for tips.
