Hiking

Along Plenkertstraat, an impressive rock face of marlstone rises, creating a characteristic image of Valkenburg aan de Geul. The face showcases the natural layers of the Limburg hills and recalls the centuries-old history of marl mining in this region. Moss, ferns, and ivy have partially overgrown the soft stone, creating a beautiful fusion of nature and geology. In sunny weather, the yellow hues of the marl glow with extra warmth.
