Spaubeek Cycled around a little, looks like there are some hiking trails that cut through woods in this area and plenty to see while cycling around - little churches, castles and the river Geleenbeek.

Schinnen Between this railway station and the woods, you will find the Canisius syrup factory - the iconic household syrup of choice in this region. After your initial purchase, this will fast become a staple of your cupboard and you will not be sure what you did before you discovered it.  I'm a fan of its use in the type of stew that is made in this region but it goes with everything. Every year this factory processes 16 million apples. The factory has a little shop where you can pick up all sorts of goodies. From here I cycled onward to Thull - through what I think were hazel rows, up the steepest hill my bike has seen in these low lands to the Alfa brewery - a family-owned independent brewery. I was somewhat disappointed that although they were serving beer,  apparently they don't have a license to sell to anyone on spec and I would have had to book a tour in order to imbibe some of this amber  liquid I cycled here to taste. So no beer for me - not from lack of trying

Nuth Cycled from Hoesnbroek to Nuth passing De Namsen steen farmhouse there is a cycle path which winds along by the handsomely named Dream Pond - looks like its a fishing spot. Recommend Visser Chocolate shop which is in the centre of Nuth- the chocolates look too good to eat!

Hoensbroek Another platform station. Brought the bike and cycled from the station to Hoesnsbroek Castle and further through the fields to Nuth. Hoesnbroek castle has parts from many different styles after various restorations through the ages - makes it very impressive also plenty of planned activities fairs, games, shop and cafe etc to keep everyone happy for a day out. .

Kerkrade Centrum Right off the train station, the Cube Design Museum is a delight to visit one of my favourites in Limburg - full of inspiration. In the same complex, a stone's throw from the station you can find the Continuum Discovery Center and the Columbus Earth Center. A short walk away the center is full of plaques and monuments to showcase the more recent history (mining history) as well as WWII ( walking tour map here ). But if these types of things are not for you - the area has gardens, parks, old castles, a Zoo so plenty to keep you busy on a sunny or rainy day. 

Chevremont A lot of speed demons on the roads is mostly what I recall from walking around Chevremont . From the station only a few minutes walk to main street. There are some greenways in walking distance (Berenbos) and the main Park in Kerkrade- which was my direction.

Eygelshoven Markt No station house here and only a quick walk between Eygelshoven and Eygelshoven Markt.  Be sure to visit the large market that happens every Saturday.
