De Voerstreek

The "Voerstreek" is well renowned for its stunning landscape which can be nicely explored using the signposted walking network of roughly 125km of trails. Thanks to the 90 numbered route nodes you can easily create your own routes across peaceful unpaved trails with little to no traffic. As such, you can design your walking trails to your own liking, or make use of one of many themed routes which will guide you along some beautiful forests, rivers, hollow roads, authentic farms, castles, unique half-timbered houses and magnificent panoramas.

In Voeren you can also cycle along many cycling trails which make use of a similar node network that allows you to create your own routes through areas you'd like to explore, or follow one of beautiful routes. This node system also seemlesly integrates with the Dutch node network in case you plan to cross the border for some sight seeing in the southern parts of The Netherlands. Also, there are many charging stations for E-bikes, and plenty of possibilities to rent an E-bike or scooter.

More information regarding the history, landscape, entertainment venues and activities in Voeren can be found on the website of Toerisme Voerstreek.

Food & Drinks

Going for dinner close to the B&B, or simply a nice cold beer in the atmosphere of the good old days is possible at Gasterij de Commanderie.

Also on walking distance you can enjoy some delicious food in the cosy dining room or on the outside terrace of Hostelerie de Cantarel.

Want to go for lunch or dinner? Then you can also go to Hoeve de Bies to enjoy some burgundy dishes. This is also reachable on foot.

For a tasty soup buffet or a drink, you can walk (two hours there and back) to the snug living room cafe De Wandelaar, where you'll be warmly received by Marlie and Jan.

Feel more like eating pancakes or delicious artisan ice cream? Say no more, het Bakhuis in Ulvend is the place to be.

And there is much more....

Activities

In case you'd like to explore the region by bike, you can rent an E-bike at E-bikes to go; they can even be delivered at the B&B.

Another fun active activity is farmer's golf at Green Valley in Teuven.

Also, a visit to the the local market in Aubel on sunday morning (10.00 - 13.00) is definitely worth a visit.

In Sint Pieters-Voeren there is a local trout farm de Commanderie.

If you visit us during autumn it is also a lot of fun to visit Mr. Wierts. He still makes traditional syrup in the stroopmakerij which belongs to the castle "de Commanderie".

A marvelous walk will bring you the the Abbey of Val Dieu with its brewery. Tap a nice cold beer before you begin your journey back the B&B.

Are you interested in how Belgian beer is brewed? Then you might want to bring a visit to the beer brewery Grain d’orge in Hombourg.
