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.

In Roman times, the Gulp was called "Galopia" or "Gulippa," meaning "little Gül" or "upper stream." The Gulp is a true trout stream: fast-flowing and rich in oxygen. Brown trout are therefore common.
