The Geul (Limburgish Gäöl, German: Göhl, French: Gueule, old names: Gullo (922), Guel and Goel (15th century) and Gule) is a river that rises with several sources in the municipality of Raeren in Belgium at the Zyklopensteine on the German border, near the town of Lichtenbusch. It leaves Belgium at Sippenaeken and enters the Netherlands at Cottessen. At the hamlet of Voulwames above Itteren it flows into the Maas. (Source: Wikipedia)

The Geul is 58 kilometres long and the total drop is approximately 250 metres. Former canalisations have been or are being removed since the beginning of the 21st century, so that the river can follow its old course and meander naturally through the South Limburg landscape again. The Geul is fed by a large number of tributaries in Belgium and the Netherlands.

The Geul is one of the most picturesque rivers in South Limburg. It meanders through the Geul Valley and past Epen, often flanked by tall trees and flower-filled meadows. The clear water is beloved by kingfishers and other wildlife, and along the way, you often hear the gentle murmur of the flowing water. Hikers often follow the river for a while, as the Geul adds variety, coolness, and a peaceful atmosphere to the landscape.
