Walk with a guide through Roman Landgraaf

Foundation Linea Recta, Landgraaf

You are standing at the highest point of the Via Belgica on Dutch soil – also the highlight for the enthusiastic volunteers of the Via Linea Recta foundation. Here, they bring “their” part of the old Roman road back to the surface in artistic and cultural ways. Walk along with a guide and discover the traces the Romans left behind here.

Just beneath the ground lie rich remains from Roman times. Invisible to the casual passer-by, yet these archaeological treasures come to life during the walk. You will encounter, among other things, a huge tomb of a wealthy Roman lady, military watchtowers, and of course the Via Belgica.

The guide also brings some of his own Roman finds. This master storyteller even wrote a novel about Roman life in the region, available at the local community point. Once your eyes have been opened to Roman Landgraaf, you can finish the tour there with coffee and traditional Limburg vlaai.
