Hiking from Maasland to Geervliet (18.00 km).

Colossal seagoing vessels on the Nieuwe Waterweg and high cranes in the harbours along the Maas dominate this stage. Yet you will still find peace on your way, such as along the water of the picturesque old city centre of Maassluis and on the island of Rozenburg, the green pearl in the middle of the industry.
