Limburg places with a double name

With a route planner you can never go wrong, right? Well, not entirely. Because imagine if you accidentally select a similar place name and not your intended destination..There are quite a few place names in Limburg with a double name, which also occur elsewhere in the country.

Here follows eand overview of similar place names in Limburg (Limburg place names with a namesake in the Netherlands). Pay attention?

Baarlo

Besides being a village in the Limburg municipality of Peel en Maas, Baarlo also a hamlet in the Overijssel municipality of Steenwijkerland. Pay attention so if you enter this name in your route planner.

Beek

Beek is the main town of the municipality of the same name in Limburg. But gain is also the name of a village in the municipality of Groesbeek in Gelderland and of a village centre in Montferland, also in Gelderland. Beek is also one of the two centres that together form the village of Beek en Donk, in the Brabant municipality of Laarbeek. But the Limburg Beek might be still the most confused with the town of the same name in Belgian Limburg. So pay extra attention!

Bergen

Bergen is a place and municipality in North Limburg and the name of a seaside resort and municipality in North Holland. Even looking out if you want to go to the coast, because that is miles away from Limburg.

Kessel is a place in the Limburgish municipality of Peel en Maas, but also a village that is part of the municipality of Oss, which you will know it is located in Brabant. Make no mistake, the two places are an hour's drive apart.

Stein is the main town of the Limburg municipality of the same name, but there is also a hamlet in South Holland that goes by the same nameThe latter is also known as Land van Stein.
