Beautiful city on the Geul

The glow of the yellow marlstone warms the atmospheric Valkenburg in all seasons. You will encounter marlstone both underground in the many caves and above ground used in beautiful buildings in Valkenburg. But it is not just the marlstone that makes Valkenburg vibrant.

Attractions

The castles, including the only hilltop castle in the Netherlands, a coal mine, museums, amusement parks, cable and toboggan run, a thermal bath located high on the Cauberg, and the casino ensure that boredom is not necessary.
