The Miljoenenlijn: Step back in time and travel through nature

Are you ready for an adventure full of history, charm and breathtaking views? Step aboard the old train and travel through a part of Limburg where time seems to stand still. With the smell of freshly cut grass, the sound of steam engines and the panoramic views, this is an experience you will not soon forget.

The Miljoenenlijn is a journey through the past, past picturesque villages, green hills and through forests where you can experience nature at its most beautiful. But what makes this line so special? It is the charm of the old steam trains that take you back in time.  

This historic railway line, once an important means of transport, has managed to retain its charm. And you notice this immediately as you take your seat in the authentic train carriages. As the steam cloud rises above the locomotive, you look out over the Limburg landscape that is so typical of this region. The combination of nostalgia and nature makes this a perfect day trip!  

Steam trains, hills and Limburg flan: what more could you want?
