Parkeren Kanne, Maastricht

Visitor parking under the bridge (Jekerstraat / “Parking Mergelgrotten”)

If you’re searching for parking Kanne to visit the Grotten van Kanne area, the most straightforward option is the visitor parking under the bridge along the Jekerstraat (Steenstraat area). Drivers are asked to follow the signs reading “Parking Mergelgrotten”.

This car park is free for visitors and the walk to the entrance is short (about 1 minute / 100 meters). The parking is designed for access to the Grotten, so it’s usually the first place to check when you arrive.

What to do when the under-bridge parking is full

Arriving during peak times can fill the spaces quickly. If you don’t find a spot right away, the local guidance is to try the parking a bit further along in the bend or on the opposite side of the bridge, rather than turning around.

Street parking: park where the signs allow

Outside the under-bridge visitor car park, you’ll mostly rely on street parking in Kanne. In practice, you need to follow what’s posted on-site (e.g., whether it’s general parking or a short-stay parking disc area). If you see a parking disc zone sign, using the disc is required where indicated.

Plan ahead (especially if you’re visiting the Grotten van Kanne)

Because the best-known parking area is free but can fill up, it helps to plan your arrival with a backup route to another nearby place to park. Also, if you want to reduce uncertainty, you can check Mobypark for any future availability nearby before you head out—just note that you may still need to fall back to public parking when it’s busy.

If you’re unsure where you can park last-minute, start with the under-bridge visitor car park (Parking Mergelgrotten), then move to the next nearby options only if it’s full.
