In South Limburg, you'll regularly encounter characteristic half-timbered houses, built with wooden beams, clay, and natural stone. This building method dates back centuries and reveals much about the region's history and traditions. The white facades with dark wooden crosses give the villages a picturesque appearance and make the landscape unique in the Netherlands. Many of these houses are still in use as homes, farms, or inns, contributing to the characteristic atmosphere of the Limburg hills. A photogenic stop and a tangible piece of cultural heritage during your walk.
