Of all the wonderful things we experienced while living in Maastricht, seeing a flock of sheep trotting up a street in the city center was the most amazing! Two shepherds and their energetic, very efficient Border Collies brought traffic to a halt on November 6th, 2013 as they herded their flock of sheep up a riverside street and across the Sint Servaas Bridge to the other side of the Maas. I was in the right place at the right time to see this rare event. Twice a year the sheep, who are used as natural lawn mowers in several parks around the city, are moved from one side of the river to the other.
