    Interesting that Christoffel has a tree stump as a base.

      Good opportunity to cross the Maas, € 0.80 for 1 person including bike.

      Here, too, a sculpture by the water has something to offer.

        "Christophorus, coming from the East, he forded the River of Life, and thus established a river crossing with the West."



        On the banks of Broekhuizen, the bronze Christoffel sits on a concrete tree. If you take the ferry to the other side of the Maas, you arrive on the banks of Arcen. There are still the two footprints of the saint, as if he really forded the Meuse.



        The image radiates death and life . Death by depicting the current decay of the water and life by the twig from the dead tree which comes to life right through the dead body of Christopher. The artist is Matheu Knippenbergh from Swolgen.
