Paddling near Brunssum, Limburg

Brunssum sits on the South Limburg plateau, close to the Maas valley and a network of small Limburg streams. The area is best known for river paddling on the Maas — including the Grensmaas, the Belgian-Dutch border stretch — where kayakers, canoeists and rafters move through a nature reserve of old river arms, gravel banks and levees. Closer to town, SUP rental is available directly at the EuroParcs Brunssummerheide swimming lake.
