Blerick Just over the river from Venlo lies the station of Blerick . The bridge connecting Blerick to Venlo is dominated by large impressive sculptures-  the Guardians ( De Wachters ) they guard over the city and protect it from violence, war and aggression - a fitting tribute give this bridge was repeatedly bombed during WW11 Blerick sits pretty on the Mass river and the impressive Town Hall is hard to miss as you arrive in Blerick from over the water. Recommend a walk along the river and a quick stop in the cafe Sur Meuse if you need a stop along the way.
