A maze of old stream channels, cut-off meanders, dikes and floodplains and a typical fauna and flora arose. Historic towns and striking villages bear witness to a past intertwined with the Meuse. Put on your walking shoes and discover the new cross-border (tourist-recreational) nature reserve Rivierpark Maasvallei yourself via this multi-day walk.
