히를렌 최고의 사이클링 경로

멋진 길, 고원 위에서 아스팔트가 끝납니다

First-class trail on the plateau

This entire area, from Spaubeek, Genout, Schimmert, to Hulsberg, has a lot of gravel paths. I go there very often and I still discover new trails.

Along the path stands a playful and striking scene: a witch who appears to have flown into a tree with her broom. This humorous artwork, hidden among the greenery, brings a smile to the faces of many hikers. The creation adds a touch of fantasy to the natural surroundings and is a pleasant, unexpected surprise during your walk. Whether you're hiking with children or simply appreciate the unique details along the way, this witch brings a touch of magic and lightheartedness to the Limburg landscape.

Legend has it that the Witch of Valkenburg once roamed here—a woman who roamed the hills at night, whispering with the wind. Today, only the atmosphere of this area recalls that ancient tale: shadows among the trees, the rustling of leaves, and a hint of mystery in the air. A place where legend and landscape merge.

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.

There are still beautiful old houses here that are well worth seeing.

Good food and cozy atmosphere
