Route Summary
Ever since the early 90s of the last century, Promotor has been setting out the so-called Tank Bag Tours. You understand that the name still comes from the GPS-free era, when motorcyclists still searched their way on inland roads with a roadbook in the tank bag or router roll. The 173 ANWB Promoter TankTasTocht (TTT) were scanned by Henry ten Dam and signed by Leon Stolk in Mapsource and later placed as a Track in a .gpx file. These have been made available through the MrGPS website with the approval of the ANWB Promoter so that everyone can enjoy it. The 1st TTT is from 1992, so the route may differ slightly from the original.
I have checked all route points and, where necessary, placed them neatly on the road. Also, if necessary, I have further spaced the start point and end point of the route to avoid navigating directly to the end point and I added the POI files from the start and end point just like a possible stop point.
Finally, I made the route the same for TomTom, Garmin and MyRoute-app Navigation users.
Thanks to Henry, Leon, MrGPS and Promoter.

RouteXpert Review
This TTT starts in Leende and goes mainly on, except for 4 km of highway, beautiful roads, through the Brabant and Limburg country to Maasbree where the end point is. After the start, go via Leende to Soerendonk and then drive through the Weerterbos * to Someren-Eind.
* The Weerterbos is a nature reserve in the Dutch province of Limburg, located northwest of Weert. The area is located on the territory of the municipality of Nederweert. The Weerterbos consists of forests, fens, grassland and small moors. (Source: Wikipedia).
We then descend to the "White town" of Thorn ** and then enter Belgium for the coffee break in Kinrooi.
** The white town of Thorn, visited by many tourists, has a rich history, dating back to the end of the 10th century. In the course of time a miniature principality developed under the leadership of an abbess and 20 noble monastic ladies. The state had its own case law and struck its own coin. In 1794 this came to an end with the arrival of the French. Then Thorn got its distinctive white color. After the noble ladies fled, the French introduced a tax based on the size of the windows. The poor population, often living in large buildings, previously belonging to rich people, could not afford it. To limit the amount of the tax assessment, the windows were bricked up. With the aim of hiding the construction tracks ("scars of poverty"), the houses were whitewashed.
After coffee we cross the border at Maaseik back to the Netherlands and at Maasbracht we go for 4 KM on the highway to get off at Panheel. We drive in a northerly direction to Helden where you enter via the Heldense Bossen and then meandering to the end point in Maasbree.
Because I have driven large parts of this route myself, this route gets 4 stars.

About this region
Limburg (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈlɪmbʏr(ə)x] (About this soundlisten)) is the southernmost of the 12 provinces of the Netherlands. The province is bordered by the province of Gelderland to the north and by North Brabant to its west. Its long eastern boundary forms the international border with the state of North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany. To the west is the international border with the similarly named Belgian province of Limburg, part of which is delineated by the river Meuse. The Vaalserberg is on the extreme south-eastern point, marking the tripoint of the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium.
Limburg's major cities are the provincial capital Maastricht (pop. 121,565[5]), as well as Venlo (pop. 101,603) in the Northeast, and Sittard-Geleen (pop. 92,661) and Heerlen (pop. 86,832) in the south. More than half of the population, approximately 650,000 people, live in the south of Limburg, which corresponds to roughly one-third of the province's area proper. In South Limburg, most people live in the urban agglomerations of Maastricht, Parkstad and Sittard-Geleen.

Limburg, who thinks of Limburg, thinks of flan, coal mines, marl and the hill country. The coal mines have been closed for almost 40 years, the last load of coal was brought up from the Oranje-Nassau coal mine in Heerlen on 31 December and, as they say, South Limburg was transformed from Black to Green and unfortunately there is still little left. view of this period.
But not only pie, marl and coal in Limburg, but also a very beautiful province to tour by car or motorcycle and enjoy all the beauty that the province of Limburg has to offer. For this, the MyRoute app RouteXpert has put together a Top 10 of Car and Motorcycle routes for you.
