Along the rippling Geul River, an impressive marlstone wall rises, a silent witness to Limburg's underground landscape. These calcareous rocks were used for centuries for construction and crafts and now offer a fascinating sight for hikers and nature lovers. The wall forms a natural boundary along the water and, in some places, harbors small caves and niches where flora and fauna have found a home. The contrast of the white marl against the green foliage and the glistening water of the Geul makes this a particularly photogenic and tranquil spot during your walk.

Beautiful part of the walk along the Geul

When the path that has been running between slopes and sloping forest on one side and the Geul on the other side suddenly starts to rise a bit, you know what is coming: part of the marl crops out and offers you a glimpse of what you can discover if you take one of the paths away from the Geul: quarries and marl.

A great example of cycling tourism by Visit Limburg, a unique experience that will leave you speechless.

must be beautiful when the heather is in bloom

Nice location and beautiful view from the pontoon bridge. With the current high water level, wear waterproof shoes. Up and down through the water 😀

Great viewpoint on top of the slag heap, the walk there is good for your fitness.

You (almost) forget that you are actually standing on an old industrial site. After all, Hoge Kempen National Park is largely located where the Eisden mine was located. After the mine closed in 1987, it was decided to preserve the original buildings. Because the area was cleaned up after the mine closed in 1987 and nature was then allowed to take its course fairly freely, Terhills has become a home to various butterfly species and plants. The area includes two pitheads, three overgrown mine slag heaps, extensive ponds, marshy areas, creeks and woodland.
