Zuid-Limburgse Stoomtrein Maatschappij — Attraction in Simpelveld

Simpleveld, a quaint train station with open air restaurant next to the train tracks. It's a perfect place to soak the sun when out, drink and eat and do nothing else. The steam train departs from the station. The to and fro ride ride lasts about an hour. The time flies sadly, the ride feels shorter than an hour.

The train coaches take you way back in time and are well maintained. The scenery is quite pleasing to the eye, keep you camera handy! Pro tip, some windows can be pushed down (not all), helps if it's too hot inside or if you want to take pics.

You get a decent view of the rolling hills if you haven't been here in South Limburg before. Tickets are 15 bucks an adult. Free parking next to the station....

Don’t miss the moment when the locomotive is going to be turned around at the train’s last station - depending on which route you take - either at ‘Schin op Geul’ or ‘Kerkrade’. The ride through the hilly and diverse landscape is really an experience. Buy a dayticket online, it saves you money and allows you unlimited...
