Hiking trail - Simpelveld - The Roman landscape in Bocholtz

Walk through the landscape in Bocholtz and discover the influences of its rich Roman past. Even for the view, the tone was set two thousand years ago. Taste Roman bread, understand Roman architecture , and discover the site of one of the most important finds from Roman times .

When the Romans came, everything changed. This certainly applies to Bocholtz, the place with the highest 'villa density'. Here they built impressive farmhouses, introduced us to large-scale agriculture in this fertile landscape, brought their own religion and buried the ashes of their dead in beautiful askists.

Parking is possible at the parking lot on the Wilhelminastraat in Bocholtz.
