The idea had been buzzing around in our heads for two years: from home in Jülich by packraft down the Rur to Roermond, and back by hitchhiking. On Saturday at noon we spontaneously set off, and Chris had to be back home by Sunday evening.
For the Rur (Roer) in the Netherlands you have to reserve a spot in advance. The information is provided by Waterschap Limburg.
