Beautiful hiking trail

Super cool path, well hidden, right in front of the church. When you finish this you get the "alpine love" feeling.

Gerendal Valley

Highlight • Natural

The Gerendal is one of the most beautiful valleys in South Limburg. Here take the unpaved path at the edge of the forest. Much quieter than the bigger road in the middle.

A wonderful location to completely unwind. A place to hit the pause button and make a beautiful memory of what is happening in your field of view. You also have a beautiful panoramic view of Old Valkenburg

May 17, 2023,Wanderung bei Scheulder mit Orchideengarten in Gerendal (NL)

After we had admired the orchid garden extensively, we stopped at the brasserie "BraZZerie PirJoy" on the way back. Small menu, friendly service and comfortably furnished. Our favorite today was pancakes based on an old family recipe.
The restaurant is right next to the church (parking included) in Scheulder. 🙂

I've NEVER seen so many badger sets on so many hikes and bike rides as I did on the first half of the route.
It was truly spectacular. Furthermore, it was a perfect day, weather-wise and in terms of atmosphere. 👍

With insanely great weather, a really nice tour in an area that is still partly unknown to me with two very charming companions. The blooming meadows and especially the orchid garden were great cinema. A hike to really unwind. Afterwards we had a very nice stop at the Brazzerie in Scheulder. We were blown away an incredibly relaxing day
