Enjoy a pleasant walk along the winding Geul

Flowing through the rolling hills of South Limburg is the Geul, one of the most charming rivers in the Netherlands. The water gently ripples over boulders and roots, winds past meadows and old farmhouses, and reflects the light of every passing cloud. The Geul is always in motion, always changing, and forms the backbone of the landscape between Meerssen, Valkenburg, and Gulpen.

Walking along the banks, you'll hear the soothing sound of flowing water intermingled with birdsong and the rustling of leaves. Sometimes a kingfisher glides by, and then you see tracks of deer or ducks in the wet sand. The river tells a story of time and nature, of erosion, growth, and restoration… an endless flow that has shaped the landscape for centuries.
