Limburg

The terrain of Limburg ranges from sandy heathland and Meuse-side lowlands in the north to rolling loess hills in the south, giving this Dutch province unusually varied relief. The Meuse, known locally as the Maas, runs north through Limburg and has long linked river towns, floodplains and farmland. In the far south, Maastricht stands near the Belgian border and is among the Netherlands’ oldest cities; the 1992 Treaty on European Union takes its name from the city. Limburgish is recognised as a regional language in the Netherlands, while vlaai, a filled pastry, remains a local speciality.
