With this route you cycle through the area where archaeologists made all kinds of finds from the time of the primeval farmers a century ago, but where new discoveries are still being made.
For example, archaeological finds tell us that the primeval farmers usually lived high and dry on top of the plateaus. But here in this area that was not always the case…
Today, this region looks completely different from the time of the primeval farmers. At that time, the Meuse still meandered freely through the landscape everywhere. And of course the border was not there yet. Just like the Netherlands and Belgium…
This cycle loop therefore does not respect national borders, because you cycle through both the Netherlands and Belgium. The ferry between Geulle (NL) and Uikhoven (BE) takes you across the Maas for free.
Along the way you cycle through green areas and often along the water of the Albert Canal or the Maas in the RivierPark Maasvallei. You will also visit the historic center of Maastricht during this route.
