De weg, de Worm en de watertoren in Parkstad - Landgraaf
This walk through the eastern mining region passes through Rimburg, Eygelshoven and Landgraaf. Along the way you will discover the traces left by the Romans here: some very tangible, such as a milestone along the road and others more abstract such as the landscape. About two thousand years ago, the Romans built the Via Belgica : a road from Cologne in Germany to Boulogne-sur-Mer in France. In Rimburg, the Via Belgica crossed the river Worm and entered the Netherlands here. How she continued on her way is not yet certain, but Eygelshoven and Landgraaf also contain plenty of Roman traces .
You start at Brugstraat 16 in Landgraaf.
