Trail through Veursbos Valley
Highlight • Forest
The forest is located on a ridge that is an extension south of the Margraten Plateau. The forest is located on top of the plateau and on the slopes. On the east side, the forest is located at the top of the western valley wall of the Gulpdal, which gradually slopes towards the east to the Gulp with the Beusdalbos behind it. On the west side of the forest lies the Veurs valley with the Vrouwenbos on the other side of the valley. The ridge forms the watershed between the Gulp, Veurs and Noor (beek) streams. Northwest of the Veursbos, the Broekbos is located on a slope.
The Veurs Tunnel, part of railway line 24, passes under the Veursbos and the ridge.
The Veursbos is a rush-beech forest.

Commandery of Sint-Pieters-Voeren
Highlight • Castle
The place is known for its coming. Daniel de Fouron donated the castle and the surrounding land to the order commander of Alden Biesen Castle when he joined the Teutonic Order on June 25, 1242.
From this point on, Sint-Pieters-Voeren was a direct fiefdom of the empire. The Grand Master exercised jurisdiction. He appointed mayors, lay judges, judicial officers, bailiffs and issued police ordinances and municipal law.
Until the French Revolution, the castle belonged to the order of knights. At the beginning of the 17th century, the current building was built in the Maasland Renaissance style.
In the park of the castle is the source of the Voer, which feeds the ponds of the oldest fish farm in Belgium and the Voer with water (approx. 4,000 liters / minute). Trout and sturgeon are hand-raised in the ponds, just as they were more than a century ago. Fish farm products can be enjoyed directly at the castle pond.
Opposite the coming one is the church of Sint-Pieters-Voeren. The small village church of Sint-Pieters-Stoelkerk was built around 1660 on behalf of commander Willem Quaedt van Beek. His tombstone is right at the entrance to the walled cemetery that surrounds the church.
Outside the village, in the direction of Sint-Martens-Voeren, stands the Sint-Annakapel (St. Anna Chapel), built around 1730 and listed as a historical monument.
