To really explore the River Park Maasvallei across borders, you can use the bicycle and pedestrian ferries during a bike ride or a long walk. A trip with one of the charming ferries to the other side of the Maas immediately puts you in a holiday mood. This way you can make nice connections between the various Maas villages and nature reserves. There are four ferries in the RivierPark Maasvallei: one large ferry that is also accessible to car traffic and three bicycle and pedestrian ferries.
Is there a Ferry on your cycling or hiking route? Great! Just keep the openings hours in mind.
