River Park Maasvallei
Highlight • River
This cross-border nature reserve is a paradise for hikers with over 200 kilometers of trails. There is also an extensive network of cycle paths! Discover not only the natural beauty but also the idyllic villages along the Maas and cross the river via a bridge or ferry.
These large herbivores play a crucial role in managing the natural environment. Together, they create a diverse landscape. In winter, the cattle graze on trees and shrubs, while the Konik horses feast on the shorter grass and the best herbs. This unique combination prevents the area from being overgrown by pastures and creates a dynamic mosaic of open meadows, rough scrub, and forests. This keeps nature constantly in motion!
The Maas is a rain-fed river, which means that the hiking trails in RivierPark Maasvallei sometimes experience floods during periods of heavy rainfall. This can affect the accessibility of the trails.

Neerharen Lock
Highlight • Monument
In Neerharen, near Lanaken, you will come across a beautifully maintained small lock along the walking and cycling route. This lock was built between 1930 and 1934. In the summer months, the lock traps quite a few pleasure craft. The dimensions of the lock are 55 by 7.50 meters, and the difference in height is 20 meters.
There are thus two locks that bridge the Albert Canal and the Zuidwillemsvaart.
People who sail through the lock with their pleasure yachts are always amazed. The beautiful colors of the flowers in the vicinity of the lock surprise many, they tell me. It is all the work of lock keeper Jos, who spends hours on it. It's his hobby, in his spare time.

Attention is also paid to inland shipping, the canals and the life of animals and plants in them. In addition to a cafeteria, there is a meeting or event room for 150 to 1500 people and an open-air auditorium.
