Hiking

A viewing platform / bird spot has recently been placed.
This is owned by Natuurmonumenten and installed in collaboration with IVN Stein and DOP Maasband. From here you have a fantastic view over the Maas valley!

September 12, 2025

Hiking

This viewing platform overlooks the most dynamic sections of the Grensmaas. Here, the Maas riverbed has been widened for flood protection, with gravel extraction and unique nature development as significant benefits. Nature has developed rapidly here and is frequently visited by many species of water birds. Common tern, little ringed plover, and osprey have been spotted. The beaver has also been seen. Numerous species of flowers, plants, and herbs, which are part of the great local biodiversity, bloom on the riverbanks.

Hiking

This tour is not recommended after rainy days. It is very wet there, sometimes even swampy. Furthermore, very beautiful views over the Maas, very varied landscape.
