The last navigable kilometers of the beautiful Roer river lead from Sint Odiliënberg to Roermond. I have never ventured further than Lerop before because from there, the current usually becomes negligible due to the backflow from the Maas river. But boy, have I missed out! It's truly a stunning stretch along a river that progressively widens and deepens, until just before Schöndeln (right before the Roer bends towards Lerop), where it still maintains its irregular bed. From this point onward, the water depth is very consistent, with mostly sand and silt deposits and no more gravel in sight. The river is clearly less deeply carved into the landscape here. As a result, the elevation drop from the starting point in Sint Odiliënberg to the mouth at the Maas river is also very minimal.
