De Kluis op de Sjaasberg

To the website
At the top of the forest between Valkenburg and Walem, on the Schaelsberg, is an imaginative hermit's house with chapel. It was once built by the then lord of the castle of Schaloen. Curious about the stories or take a look inside? View the 360-degree tour or listen to the audio tour . Both tours are also accessible by scanning the QR codes on the facade sign at De Kluis.

From 1688 to 1930, hermits have lived here, at least sixteen different ones. Each contributed in their own way to this mysterious monument. Next to the house and the chapel are fourteen stations of the cross in a circle.

A pilgrimage has been taking place to this place since 1758, always on the last Sunday of June: the Sjaasbergergank. This tradition is UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of the Netherlands.

On top of the Schaelsberg you also have a great view over the Geul valley.
