Neercanne — 52 Steps and Terrace

Highlight • Castle

Halfway through these stairs, on the right-hand side, there is a small gate to a plateau where you can enjoy a picnic and enjoy a view of the St. Pietersberg. Of course you can also take a seat at the terrace of l'auberge de neecanne. For this you have to climb the stairs and enter the castle walls on the right.

Baroque Gardens of Château Neercanne

Highlight • Castle

Kasteel Neercanne or Château Neercanne, formerly known as Agimont Castle, is a seventeenth-century baroque castle in the Jekerdal valley in the southwest of the Dutch municipality of Maastricht. Neercanne is located on Cannerweg, just on Dutch territory, close to the Belgian-Limburg village of Kanne. Neercanne is the only terraced castle in the Netherlands, built on a man-made terrace against the slope of the Cannerberg. The reconstructed baroque garden is also laid out in terraces. The terraced garden has been gradually restored to its former glory since 1990. Both the terrace at castle level and the one at street level are furnished in a modern French style with boxwood and yew hedges, lawns, gravel paths, garden vases, and benches. Between them is a narrow middle terrace. At street level is the main garden, where sculpture exhibitions are regularly organized. Across the road, in the Jeker river basin, lies the only partially restored lowest level of the original garden. However, the distinct baroque shape of the large pond is clearly recognizable.

Former NATO Headquarters, Cannerberg

Highlight • Historical Site

The heavy iron door behind this grille was the entrance to a secret NATO headquarters, the Joint Operations Center, from 1954 to 1992. It was a communications center where coordination took place for the Allied land and air forces from Northwestern Europe to the Iron Curtain. Information about troop movements on both sides of the Iron Curtain was collected and processed here.

Field trips:
Despite the major renovation, the special story can be experienced during an excursion. The complex can only be visited during guided excursions for €6 per person via limburgs-landen.nl

Jesuit Hill

Highlight • Cave

The Jezuïetenberg used to be a marl quarry in the Cannerberg just outside Maastricht. In the period 1880-1967, the Jesuits used the quarry for relaxation, creating many works of art in the form of drawings, sculpture and water works. This quarry has had the status of a national monument since 1998. The Jesuit Mountain can be visited. The size of the group is 10 people.

Wooden Steps on Natural Pathway

Highlight • Trail

These wooden stairs are being installed to make it safer for hikers. The steep slopes with many pebbles are - and especially in wet weather - dangerous to slip or fall on.
