June 2, 2024,Valkenburg aan de Geul - Wanderung durch Wald und Stadt

Valkenburg is a beautiful town with many old houses and villas. There are many lovely outdoor restaurants in the town centre. The exhibition of everyday people provided additional variety. The combination of beautiful nature and the Dutch flair of an old town is what makes this walk so appealing. Thanks to RobertO for putting together this lovely tour.
