Tour of Echt, Stevensweert and Maasbracht

From Echt you drive to the Island in the Maas. There is plenty of natural beauty to experience here. And cultural history: for example, you pass the sixteenth-century Hasselholt castle, also known locally as Het Geudje. The castle has a striking Maasland Renaissance facade from 1651. In Laak you see several beautiful farms and the monumental St. Anne's Chapel from 1896. Further on you drive along the Molenplas, which was created by gravel extraction around the Oude Maas. Part of the picturesque Stevensweert enjoys a protected cityscape, in the street pattern you can still recognize the former fortifications. Via Maasbracht you drive to the Reigersbroek, an old marsh and peat area. There is a lookout tower that you can walk to for a panorama of the area. At Davvero Bistro you can enjoy a snack on the cozy terrace.
