Few cities in Flanders have a history as closely tied to the course and trade of the Meuse as Dilsen-Stokkem. This municipality in Belgian Limburg follows the Dutch border, where riverbanks, floodplain grasslands and former gravel pits shape the Maasvallei river landscape. Stokkem, its historic town, received city rights in 1244; its compact centre still recalls the settlement that grew beside the river. The cross-border RivierPark Maasvallei links this stretch of the Meuse with nature areas in the Netherlands, while cycling routes run along the dikes and connect neighbouring Maas communities.
