Eijsden

For a long time the economy of Eijsden was mainly based on fruit growing. Until the mid-20th century, this region was home to one of the largest contiguous fruit tree areas in the Netherlands.

Since 2004, a ferry called De Cramignon leaves daily between Eijsden and Ternaaien (Lanaye) in Belgium. This ferry service transports only cyclists and pedestrians
And since December 2011, the local train Liège-Guillemins – Maastricht stops again in Eijsden.
