Boat trip Grensmaas Tour - September

Discover the beautiful nature of the Grensmaas area

The Grensmaas (Meuse borders) area is not just a river; it is a vibrant nature and recreation area. This boat trip offers stunning views of various wildlife on its banks, including Galloway cattle and Konik horses. These animals graze freely in the area, contributing to natural grazing and maintaining biodiversity. You can also spot several bird species, such as the blue heron, the kingfisher and the rare black stork. The beautiful view of the Koningsteen nature reserve is a highlight of the trip. Other special animals live here, such as the beaver. Look out for traces of this impressive gnawer, such as the gnawed trees along the banks, which betray their presence.

Another important part of the Grensmaas Tour is the Rivierpark Maasvallei (River Park). This cross-border nature reserve stretches along the Meuse in both the Netherlands and Belgium and offers a rich variety of flora and fauna. Besides the animals mentioned above, you can also encounter roe deer, foxes and sometimes even a badger.
