About this audio guide
This guide to Máximapark in Utrecht leaves the cycle loop and lawns behind for the Roman frontier that once ran through this ground, and for one working skipper who lived aboard his river barge. You'll hear about the boats that kept the border forts supplied, the trades a single cabin can reveal, and who else may have shared the work on deck. Best heard on the way to Castellum Hoge Woerd, the rebuilt fort at the park's edge.
