Carnival in Limburg
Of course, nowhere do you celebrate Carnival, or Vasteloavend, better than in South Limburg.
Whether you like Carnival or not, at Resort Mooi Bemelen you are always at the right place. A quiet holiday park, close to the cities of Valkenburg and Maastricht, which have been taken over by the carnival celebrating citizens.
After you have plunged into the festivities in one of the surrounding cities, you can completely relax in one of the luxury holiday homes and you can get rid of your hangover with a refreshing and brisk walk in the beautiful hilly landscape.
Important dates for the unique 'Vasteloavend' (Carnival)experience in South Limburg.
