Hiking in Maastricht and the region
Maastricht and its surroundings are perfect for walkers. Whether you choose the lively city, the nature of Sint-Pietersberg or the tranquillity of the Heuvelland, there is always something to discover. From city parks to hills and villages, every walk offers something unique.
Parks in the city
In the city you will find places like the Stadspark (city park) and the nearby Frontenpark, ideal for a stroll. The Stadspark (city park), with its historic walls, ponds and artworks, offers a mix of nature and culture. In contrast, the more rugged Frontenpark, located on an old fortress site, has a more wild feel and is a haven for special flora and fauna.
