Discover the surrounding area of Hotel-Restaurant Valkenburg in Valkenburg

Those who have visited Limburg before know that this province is different from any other in the Netherlands. The strikingly beautiful landscapes, characterised by gentle hills and valleys, are reminiscent of southern Europe. Swift-running brooks and scenic cycling and walking routes are everywhere.
The natural variation in the countryside ranges from South Limburg’s rolling hills, of which the Vaalsberg (321 metres) is the highest point in the Netherlands, to Central Limburg’s green Maas River Valley and North Limburg’s Peel region, with its stretches of forest and heath. This makes the province a unique destination for tourism and recreation.

Hotel Valkenburg is the ideal starting point for dozens of scenic trips, including many VVV walking tours. Order a picnic basket from the hotel staff to make your enjoyment of the beautiful surroundings complete!

Tips for tourists

• Treat yourself to a relaxing visit to Thermae 2000, the Netherlands’ first officially recognised health spa.
• Enthusiastic hikers can test their fitness on the famous Pieter Path, once used by religious pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela.
• Cycle leisurely through the beautiful natural surroundings or, if you’re a real competitor, ride a challenging ‘stage’ up the Cauberg in Valkenberg or the St. Pietersberg near Maastricht.
  Go for a cross-border drive to the Ardennes Forest or the city of Liège in Belgium, or visit historic Aix-la-Chapelle in Germany.

Limburg is the Netherlands’ best jumping-off point for visits to neighbouring Belgium and Germany!
