Description

This cycle tour takes you along both sides of the Maas. You cycle from the monastery village of Steyl towards Reuver. Near Reuver you take the ferry across the Maas to the characteristic village of Kessel. This route mainly takes you through rural areas with beautiful views over the Maas. Here you can enjoy the Maas in all its glory.

The landscape of this cycle tour consists of forests, riverlands and villages. In Steyl you will mainly find monastery buildings such as the Good Shepherd Garden, the Mission House, Villa Elise and the St. Michael's Church, which dominates the view from the Maas with its spiers. Also visit the Jochumhof, a beautiful botanical garden in the middle of the village of Steyl with an amazing view over the Maas. The garden is at its best from April to October.

In the vicinity of the villages of Kessel and Baarlo, the emphasis is on castles such as the recently rebuilt Kasteel de Keverberg in Kessel and Kasteel d'Erp in Baarlo. So there is plenty to see. In Baarlo you take the ferry back to the starting point in Steyl. Along the way you will pass plenty of rest points, where you can relax on a bench or a terrace with a view of the Maas.
