In Moresnet-Village, the Gulptal Viaduct, one of the longest European railway viaducts, spans the valley of the Göhl with a length of 1120 m and a height of up to 58 m. It was built in 1916 when the site was occupied by the troops of the Imperial German Reich was occupied.

The Maastricht - Vaals tram line is a disappeared steam tram line in the Heuvelland in the Dutch province of Limburg. The line connected Maastricht and Vaals via Gulpen and Wijlre between 1922/1925 and 1938. The line had a length of 28 kilometers and was constructed in standard gauge. Due to the height differences, some structures had to be built. The largest of these was the Gulpdal viaduct, seventeen meters high

Very bad road but stunning views

The Gulp is a 21 kilometres long river in eastern Belgium and southeastern Netherlands. It flows through the Belgian provinces of Liège and Limburg, and the Dutch province of Limburg. It is a strongly meandering, fast flowing, left-bank tributary of the Geul river. Because of it strong meanders, it is difficult to determine its exact length.
During Roman times, the river was called Galopia or Gulippa, meaning little Geul or upper brook. The Gulp is a real trout brook: flowing fast and rich in oxygen. Brook trout is abundant. The landscape of the narrow Gulp valley resembles much the valley of the Geul: a fascinating mixture of deciduous forests, meadows, farmland, muddy banks, stream pools, orchards and holle wegen (eroded dirt roads).
The source is in Henri-Chapelle. It joins the Geul near Gulpen, overlooked by motte-and-bailey castle Gracht Burggraaf. It flows through the villages Hombourg, Teuven (both in Belgium), Slenaken and Gulpen (both in the Netherlands).
From its source in Henri-Chapelle, a village of the municipality of Welkenraedt, province of Liège it runs in a northwestern direction across the Dutch border, after which it flows into the Geul. This happens near a motte-and-bailey castle called "Burggraaf" at Gulpen, where also the Eyserbeek river joins the Geul from the opposite bank. This is the place and municipality to which it evidently gets its name.
