Overview

About this collection

Easy riverside miles with classic Maas vibes. This collection follows the Meuse (Maas) along a mostly paved corridor, mixing dedicated cycleways with quiet and access roads. Expect smooth asphalt and concrete for the bulk of the ride, with a few short bits of gravel and cobbles to keep it interesting.

Terrain is largely flat, with only gentle ups and downs (think small climbs spread out over the day). Traffic is generally light; there are just brief stretches on busier roads, so it stays friendly for most riders.

Great for touring bikes and e-bikes. 32–35 mm tires (or wider) make the occasional rougher patch comfy, but road bikes will be fine too. No fixed start or finish—ride any direction, hop on and off, and take your time by the water.

Highlights? Constant river views, easy navigation, and plenty of low-stress cycling. Pack a snack, watch the wind along the river, and enjoy a relaxed roll on one of Europe’s classic waterways.
