The medieval tradition of underground marl mining resulted in above-ground monuments. Houses at that time were made of clay and wood. Here in Valkenburg people even went underground for a structure such as a church or a castle.
There the golden-yellow marl blocks were broken loose to build the castles of Valkenburg, Schaloen and Genhoes, and the imposingly located Sint-Mauritiuskerk.
They are located in the hilly landscape of the Geul valley, which provides breathtaking views during your walk. The route partly follows the Geul, which you leave to discover the wonders of the Schaelsberg and the fairytale paths of the Sint-Jansbosch.
