One of the most beautiful tours in recent years. Especially the trip to Maastricht through Belgium 🇧🇪 over the dams of the Maas 👌

From the bridge over the Juliana Canal in Echt, over the Maas Route to Maaseik (B) and to Maastricht through Belgium, further along the Maas Route.

In grey/grey misty weather (± 3 ´C) from Peij over the Maasroute (Netherlands) to Maastricht. What a crowd in the city (people and even more cars that can't find a parking space anywhere).
Return over the Maasroute (Belgium) towards Maaseik and back to Peij.
No photos taken today (too cold).

I actually wanted to follow the original route from Berg an de Maas. However, at KP 19 in Grevenbicht it turned out that the Mass ferry was currently out of service due to engine failure. So I drove on to Roosteren to cross the bridge over the Maas to Masseik. From there I went back to KP 19 to then …
