    The Geul is a fast-flowing river in South Limburg, approximately 56 km long. It rises in Belgium near Lichtenbusch and flows via towns such as Valkenburg and Gulpen to the Meuse River near Meerssen. The Geul meanders through a hilly landscape with sunken roads, calcareous grasslands, and old watermills. The river is ecologically valuable, with species such as the kingfisher and the rare brook lamprey. It also plays an important role in water management due to its susceptibility to flooding.
