List of cities in Netherlands Sightseeing Tours in Maastricht1. Poort Waerachtig
De Poort Waerig is a gate in Maastricht located in the Jekerkwartier district, between Begijnenstraat and Sint Pieterskade. Originally the gate was called Begijnenpoort, but popularly it soon became gate -like, later true. The gate has three passages: on the left and right one for pedestrians, and in the middle a wider and higher for traffic. She is located between the two late-medieval rounds of haet and nijt and the five heads. The neo-gothic gate was constructed in 1887-'88 as a breakthrough in the wall of the 'Nieuwstad', to gain access to the newly constructed Villapark. To this end, a dam was laid in the years 1884-1885 in the open connection of the Jeker with the Kanaal Liège-Maastricht. This created a waving hole on the right (eastern) for shipping, in what the swan pond was then called, at the foot of the Rondeel the five heads. The Dam connected the new park in the eastern bowls with the Begijnenstraat and the further city center. She was designed as a quay on the east side and was named Sint Pieterskade in 1903. De Jeker was implemented with three sifons under the dam, but these turned out to be unable to cope with the water level in later years.
