Discover Kinrooi

Kinrooi combines waterways, nature reserves, historic buildings and regional specialities into a diverse destination. Those looking for a holiday apartment in Kinrooi can tailor their stay to their own interests: active days on the water, hikes through KempenBroek, cultural discoveries or seasonal enjoyment of asparagus offer different options for planning a trip.

Experience the water and explore the surroundings at your own pace

The Kinrooi Maasplassen offer special opportunities for excursions on the water. At Sailcenter Limburg, you can rent canoes for 1 to 8 people. This also allows you to reach places that cannot be reached on foot or by bicycle. Sailcenter Limburg also offers sailing lessons on the Kinrooi Maasplassen. This means you can choose between an independent canoe trip and a guided sailing experience.

The Kinrooi e-Cars offer another way to explore the area. They allow you to discover the surroundings at your own pace. Visit Kinrooi has five e-Cars for a total of up to 20 people; their range is approximately 30 km. These details can provide practical guidance when planning an excursion without tying the day's schedule to a specific route.

Nature between KempenBroek and the Meuse Valley

Signposted routes allow hikers to discover KempenBroek in Kinrooi in all its facets. Stramprooijerbroek is one of Kinrooi's three main nature reserves and gives the landscape its own character. The rare weatherfish is also found in the nearby Renne stream at De Goort. Those who value varied nature experiences when choosing accommodation can therefore explore Kinrooi with different focuses: walks, longer hikes or excursions into the waterways.

A cycling tour can also be incorporated into the trip. From junction 21, a cycle route leads through Koningssteen-Kollegreend in RivierPark Maasvallei to the white town of Thorn. The starting point and destination give this route a clear structure and provide another way to extend the stay beyond Kinrooi.

Churches, castles and living traditions

Kinrooi is home to remarkable evidence of the region's history. The Sint-Martinus Chapel was built in 1470 with the support of the Lady of Kessenich and restored and enlarged in 1819. The Sint-Martinus parish church has a colourful, exceptionally well-preserved interior, regarded as one of the highlights of neo-Gothic architecture in Limburg.

The Motte van Kessenich is situated on a hill extending into the Meuse Valley, the easternmost spur of the middle Meuse terrace. This site was chosen for the construction of a fortification. The Burcht van Kessenich is also one of the rare examples of a 12th-century castle complex. Kinrooi's cultural heritage also includes three windmills that are still operational. The municipality also has six schutterijen, which contribute to the area's distinctive cultural character.

Asparagus as a seasonal speciality

A trip to Kinrooi can also be complemented by regional cuisine. Every year, delicious asparagus grown outdoors can be enjoyed from approximately mid-April to mid-June. This limited season is a specific reference point for trip planning and gives a stay in spring a special culinary touch. When looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home, you can therefore consider whether you want to focus your visit on nature, water, culture or the asparagus season.
