In between, do not miss the Ramioul Prehistomuseum, one of the largest museums of prehistory in Europe. In Liege, an impressive new cycle-pedestrian bridge connects the Guillemins district to the recently opened "La Boverie" Museum. Entering the Dutch part of the Meuse Cycle Route, you start off in South Limburg - a captivating region with a lot to discover, from historical cities such as Maastricht and Sittard to charming hamlets nestling between farmlands and hills. The authentic ferries allow you to cycle from the Netherlands to Belgium and back in an afternoon... An absolute must!
