A pleasant tourist resort in the Heuvelland region with good infrastructure (supermarkets and many restaurants)

Beautiful scenery for hiking and cycling. However, the terrain in the Heuvelland region is constantly undulating.

The Brigida Church is situated on a bend in the main road to Mheer. Opposite the east side lies the village square, and to the left is a road leading to the Voerstreek region. The church is situated on a hill, supported by a marlstone retaining wall. A cemetery surrounds the church, and in front of it on the east side is the Brigida Chapel, dedicated to devotion to this saint. The church is a three-aisled basilica, begun in Romanesque style but rebuilt in phases in Gothic style. It is one of the few village churches in South Limburg that has preserved some of its medieval atmosphere and its main features from the 15th century. According to the parish archives, the St. Brigida Church was a branch church of the parish church in 's Gravenvoeren (Belgium) until 1614. This church, which in turn was a separation from the church of St. Martin's Voeren, was donated to the Our Lady Minster of Luxembourg City in 1083 by Conrad I of Luxembourg, lord of the land of Daehlem. Originally, the parish also included Mheer, which separated in 1626. From 1616 until the order's dissolution in 1773, the Jesuits of Maastricht held the right of collation of the church and the right of tithing, which they had inherited from the Our Lady Minster in Luxembourg. It is known that the church was plundered by soldiers of William of Orange in 1568. Source: The Dutch Monuments of History and Art. The Province of Limburg / South Limburg.

Valkenburg has been one of the Netherlands' most important holiday destinations since around 1840, and tourism is the municipality's main source of income. This has much to do with the medieval town's picturesque location, but the extensive labyrinths of underground quarries also played an important role from the very beginning. However, the original idea of using the caves for air cures never came to fruition.

The Gulp is a true trout stream: fast-flowing and rich in oxygen. Brown trout are therefore common.

The Gulperberg is a 157-meter-high hill near Gulpen in South Limburg. A statue of the Virgin Mary stands at the top, and it offers a magnificent view of the Heuvelland region. The hill is popular with hikers and cyclists, partly due to the steep climb on the west side.

very nice town to visit
