From here, the green hills stretch out in all directions, offering views of meadows, forests, and sometimes even the region's vineyards. These panoramas are so beloved that they are often captured by photographers and artists as quintessential South Limburg landscapes that evoke the feeling of standing on a Tuscan hillside. Hiking trails like the Gulpen-Wittem Wi3 take you through the area around Eys, with frequent viewing points where you can stop to take photos or simply enjoy the view.

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. The landscape of the narrow Gulp valley is very similar to that of the Gül: a fascinating variety of deciduous forests, grasslands, fields, marshy banks, ponds, orchards, and sunken lanes.
