The Geul is a strongly meandering stream and winds through the landscape. Because the Geul flows fast on this part, the water erodes the bank in the outer bends. In the inner bends, the water flows less fast and the sand and mud that has been carried along remains there. In the outer bends, there is a steep bank and in the inner bends a flat bank.

Along this route, you'll see sections of the Geul River where the banks are slowly eroding due to flowing water and rain. The landscape is constantly changing, with eroded, steep banks, exposed roots, and small sandbanks in the river. This process of erosion clearly illustrates how the river shapes its course and how plants and animals adapt to this dynamic environment. A fascinating natural phenomenon for anyone who loves riverside nature.
