Some American friends were surprised recently when I mentioned that Roermond is a popular holiday spot. They wondered that a (relatively) obscure little city might be a good place to vacation. I took this screenshot to help explain: there is SO MUCH water around here, and so much natural beauty. In a hot summer, when people want lakes and rivers, to hang out in little cabins and mess around in boats, there isn’t a better spot than Roermond for a long way in any direction.
One thing I increasingly love about it here is that I’m only a 20 minute walk in any direction from being in the country, with horses and little farms and hiking trails and beautiful landscapes all around. 
(it does seem that all my photos are on cloudy days, doesn’t it? But check out these amazing cows I saw the other day)
It’s a strikingly beautiful spot to appreciate nature and experience the quietness of being away from it all. Peaceful Roermond
