It's been a long time since I've been up here on the big leaf. But it's always beautiful and part of almost every tour through the Mergelland.

Fort Sint Pieter is a fort that was built in 1701-02 on the northern flank of the Sint-Pietersberg in Maastricht. Until 1867, the fort had a military function as part of the fortifications of Maastricht. The building is now a national monument and a tourist attraction. To the southwest of the fort used to be the Great Entrance of the Northern Gangensysteem, to the southeast the Predikherengat and to the northwest the quarry Ancienne Brasserie.

The lock is 225 meters long and 25 meters wide and is currently the largest inland lock in Europe.

Impressive lock, beautiful surroundings.

The market takes place on Wednesdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Here you can buy sausage, meat, cheese, fruit and vegetables, fabrics, flowers, fish (especially Kibbeling) and much more. Part of the Stadhuis (town hall) can also be visited.

On market days it swarms with people, but there is everything you would expect from a market and a lot more.

Maastricht is one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands. The name of the city already suggests this. Maastricht means something like "crossing of the Meuse", which probably refers to a bridge built here by the Romans. Today Maastricht is important for tourism.

Right in the heart of Maastricht is the historic City Hall, built in 1659 and where the Treaty establishing the European Union was signed on February 7, 1992. The building was modernized as part of an extensive general renovation.
