The 5-star Heuvelland
The Heuvelland is the area roughly within the triangle of Eijsden, Vaals and Meerssen. This is the true scenic and tourist heart of South Limburg. Picturesque villages with half-timbered houses, monumental farms, castles, monasteries and churches are spread across the rolling countryside. A 5-star landscape full of surprises.
Walkers and cyclists in particular get their money's worth here. Walking and cycling through Heuvelland means enjoying a rolling landscape and discovering historical villages hidden between green meadows and colourful standard orchards.
A whole network of cycling and hiking routes has been laid out, allowing everyone to determine their own route and distance. Enjoy the beautiful views, see the Geul Valley lambs grazing and relax at one of the many cosy terraces.
Stichting Natuur en Milieu awarded this area no less than 5 stars. The stars were given for the experiential value, ecological value, cultural-historical value, possibility for (nature) recreation and the unique character of the area. So at least 5 good reasons to visit Heuvelland!
