Wandelroute - Valkenburg aan de Geul - Romeinse ronde van Valkenburg

Wandelroute - Valkenburg aan de Geul - Romeinse ronde van Valkenburg

The beloved Geul town in the Heuvelland is a popular hiking destination. The ancient city with its unique hilltop castle and the surrounding natural beauty is home to historical treasures. The illustrious Middle Ages demand attention, but few people know about the region's rich Roman past . An exact replica of underground Roman catacombs is perhaps the highlight, while the literal highlight treats you to a great view over the Geuldal : the perfect place for a Roman watchtower. On the route of the Via Belgica you walk past the impressive Château St. Gerlach and you also admire smaller monumental pearls.

You start at Beekstraat 1 in Valkenburg.
