Which river is most important to Maastricht? While it may seem like an obvious question, the answer might surprise you—it’s not the Meuse. In fact, Maastricht’s development was more closely tied to the Jeker River than to the Meuse. The city grew at the confluence of these two rivers.
Did you know that water has been crucial to the city, and while the Maastricht expanded, Wyck actually shrank? Did you know there’s an underground aqueduct and that fish can climb stairs? You can even enjoy a ‘Sea View’ here, and water was once used as a strategic tool to breach the city walls.
Discover more on this walk exploring Maastricht’s waterways, a sequel to the ‘En Plein Publique’ walk by heritage conservators Remco Beckers and Joes Minis. This walk was created for Open Monument Day.
