Maastricht - Netherlands
As part of my Benelux road trip I took a short drive from Liège to Maastricht in the Netherlands. That's a pro of traveling in Europe, everything is so close! I'm a fan of the Netherlands anyway. The people are super kind, I love the language and each city has such a relaxing vibe that it even calms me down a bit. I will sure explore this cute country even more in the future. The goal of this road trip was to explore countries I haven't been to before, so this time I just did this short excursions for one day and night and went to the Belgium again afterwards. But it was a bless to be there! I was really lucky with the weather because it started raining after sunset so I was able to get the best out of my day in Maastricht. In the following you'll see my impressions.
Hiking around Fort St. Pieter
At this fort a nice manin an information center handled me a flyer with some trekking routes in thearea around and I decided to go for the nature before heading back to the cityand I got rewarded by nice views.

These sheeps are held to keep the meadow low as they told me.

Never saw so many flies on a cow before :D

Sint-Janskerk on the left and Servatiusbasilika on the right.
Servatiusbasilika from the inside, the main part was closed.
Why doesn't every visitor center look like this? :)
Stokstraat, famous for shopping.
This is what I love the Neatherlands for. I actually just went walking everything though.
Sint Servaasbrug.
Hoge Brug, just for passengers and bycicles.
This is actually the highest mountain in the Neatherlands as I got told =D That’s where I have been hiking earlier.
Bonnefantenmuseum.
My hostel the Stayokay Maastricht with a perfect location.
This sunset was so beautiful!
So practical, why don't we have such things?
Got back to the hostel short before purring rain started.
