Narrow path along the marl walls on one side and the Geul on the other side.

Kellersberg Gorge
Highlight • Gorge
A good bypass for the main street (Kellersberger road), which unfortunately has no bike path. Especially uphill direction Kellersberg drives here but much more relaxed!

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge
Quiet and very beautiful place to enjoy nature. You think you are far from civilization. This path is part of the Route des Vins: Land van Kalk Ubachsberg.

Holleweg Descent from Keutenberg to Schin op Geul
Highlight • Trail
Starting from the top, a really fun descent to enjoy. However, we had to take a break because of free-roaming calves 🤣. But of course people like to be considerate.
