The vineyards of Maastricht
The Jeker Valley
Although the Jeker is a small river, it has a major influence on the Limburg landscape. This small river traverses the green valley, with its hills and picturesque villages, carving a path from the Belgian border until it meets up with the Meuse in Maastricht. Not only does the Bishop’s Mill owe its existence to the Jeker, but the vineyards in the Jeker Valley are also irrigated by this modest river.
Visit a vineyard
Maastricht is renowned for being one of the better culinary cities in Holland. The fact that it has its own vineyards that produce tasty Dutch wines certainly plays an important role in this. "So if you are in Maastricht, you should definitely consider visiting one of the vineyards. We recommend:
