7 Summits Gulperberg-route

7 Summits Gulperberg-route

This route is part of the 7 Summits , the seven steepest mountain peaks in South Limburg. It concerns a circular walk of 6.5 kilometers with a maximum height of 157 meters.

On top of the Gulperberg is the concrete Maria Monument from 1935 by sculptor Charles Vos and architect Piet Gerrits. The hill is the northernmost spur of the Crapoel Plateau.

Cyclists fear the Gulperberg, especially from the village it immediately goes up horribly steep, but from Party the mountain is even more treacherous. The walk passes both executioners, so don't forget to encourage the cyclists.

From the statue of Mary you have a good view of the valley of the Geul and the Gulp that converge in Gulpen. The walk also takes in the Dunnenbosch, one of the many beautiful sloped forests in South Limburg.

From here you have a magnificent view of an un-Dutch landscape; the Eyser Heuvelrug. If you keep the row of poplars in front of cypresses, you imagine yourself in Tuscany. Please note, this route is not signposted.
