LF Meuse (Maas) Cycle Route - Netherlands

A collection of 18 cycling routes.

Overview

About this collection

A classic riverside ride tracing the River Maas/Meuse across the Netherlands. Expect long, easy miles on dedicated cycleways and quiet dike roads, with a mostly paved surface and the occasional stretch of gravel or old cobbles. You’ll roll past villages, nature areas, and busy river scenes with barges and wide-open skies. Ride a full tour or dip into sections—navigation is straightforward with the river as your guide. It works well in either direction and suits most bikes; slightly wider tires make the rough bits comfy. Ideal for relaxed day rides, a weekend escape, or an end-to-end adventure. Keep an eye out for viewpoints, river beaches, and waterside cafés along the way.
