Oostervoetpad along the Geul

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Oostervoetpad is one of the most traveled paths in Oud Valkenburg. Know that it can be quite busy on this route. Yet you can enjoy the Geul that carves through the landscape.

Nice walk and view. Nice to walk along the gully, especially if you have 2 dogs who love water. There are places where they can take a refreshing dip.

Even if the weather doesn't look very inviting: at least it has to be a small tour. And if you've also planned your Sunday lunch in a pancake house on the route, the whole thing looks much friendlier

Today I absolutely had to hike, despite bad back pain. There were so many beautiful things to discover (far-reaching views, the Geul, de Kluis, the Stations of the Cross, plants, dwellings for birds, foxes and rabbits and many more) that the pain after the movement was almost gone. It was a great tour with delicious cheesecake at the end👍😎🌞

Surprisingly nice route, where you walk along the Geul for a while. Unfortunately, part is now (September 2021) closed due to the flooding.

I celebrated the evening with a nice get-together and delicious food with good …
