Romantic Escape for Two
Thermal water, vineyard tastings, a candlelit castle dinner and a monastery bed — Limburg at its most seductive.
Built around slow mornings and long dinners: soak on the Cauberg, taste wine above the Jeker valley, dine in a baroque château and sleep where crusader monks once did. Book Neercanne and the Kruisherenhotel well in advance — this route sells out for good reason.
