Tour of Maasplassen: Thorn and Stevensweert from Wessem

After a cup of coffee at Grand Café - Maasterras't Veerhuis in Wessem, you get on your bike. An appropriate starting point, because today you will discover both sides of the Maas and the Maasplassen around Wessem! First you cycle through the picturesque Thorn. This town has a historic center with white houses and many authentic buildings from the fifteenth to the nineteenth century. The city was the capital of a miniature principality for more than 800 years. At Kessenich and Ophoven you drive a bit through Belgium. Back in the Netherlands you drive across the Island in the Maas. In Stevensweert you experience the atmosphere of a bygone era. The Linnerweerd is one of the few remaining natural floodplains of the Meuse. Here you see an eighteenth-century country house: Ravensberg.
