Church Tower·Scenic, Active, Rewarding
The Beklimmen kerktoren van Meijel provides a unique vantage point over the heart of Limburg. The journey to the top involves a 200-step climb through the church's interior, where visitors can observe the massive, historic bells. While the stairs are generally accessible, the final spiral section is notably narrow. Once at the summit, the reward is a magnificent panoramic view that, on clear days, stretches from Nederweert to beyond Venlo. It is an engaging activity for children and photography enthusiasts alike, though it requires planning as advance reservations are mandatory.
