By walking this route you can discover the history of the Jewish community of Vaals. The "Jewish Vaals" route does not only reflect on suffering, deportation and murder in the 1940s - although this occupies an important place.
Via the route you can see that there has been a Jewish community in Vaals since the middle of the 18th century, which has largely remained hidden and can be discovered.
During this walk you will get to know the beautifully situated Jewish cemetery, the oldest building, the municipal tower, the stately Von Clermont House and Bloemendal Castle, the colorful Koningin Julianaplein and the Center for Art and Culture in the historic Kopermolen.
In addition, there is of course plenty of attention for the Jewish past of Vaals through information panels along the way. You can park in the center of Vaals under the Albert Heijn. There are also many cafes in the center where you can enjoy a delicious cup of coffee.
