The Sluis Heel is an important water connection in Limburg, located on the Meuse. This modern lock regulates shipping and ensures that the water level of the Meuse is managed. Surrounded by green nature and charming views, it is an interesting place for walkers and cyclists. Here you can observe the activity of shipping and enjoy the tranquility of the Limburg landscape.

Even on Sundays, pleasure boating. Stopping for a moment to watch the shaking of the lock
