Description

From Blitterswijck you can take a nice walk along both sides of the Limburgse Maas. Along the way you pass some nice sights, such as a castle ruin.

Blitterswijck Castle
The route starts at Cycling and Walking Café De Zwart. You can first enjoy a coffee with Limburgse vlaai on the terrace. Then you walk to the ferry that you cross the Maas. Just before the crossing you can enjoy a meal at Veerhuys Tante Jet. On the other side you can walk a bit through the woods of the Maasduinen National Park. A wonderfully quiet path, ideal for charging the proverbial battery.

Blitterswijck Castle
It is also quiet along the Meuse bank. You will find beautiful places to look out over the rippling water and the flowery floodplains. Diagonally opposite the Protestant church is the driveway of the disappeared Blitterswijck Castle. At the end of 1944, this castle was completely destroyed by the Germans, despite the fact that it was not used by the military. The remains have been used to restore, among other things, the old church of Blitterswijck, the tower of which was blown up (also by the German occupier).

NB; the ferry only operates in high season. Check sailing times in advance.
