This stage starts in the historical city centre of Roermond and crosses Northern Limburg, passing the dragon's village of Beesel where, every 7 years, the legend of St. George and the dragon is acted out. After Grave, you reach an area which was used to be flooded when the water level in the Maas was too high to prevent the residents of nearby cities from getting their feet wet. The final destination of the stage, s-Hertogenbosch, is known as a magnificent fortress city full of monuments and host many nationally renowned cultural events. After a day in the saddle it offers lots of cosy restaurants and cafés for you to explore.
