Round Gulperberg with Limburg pie

Are we still in the Netherlands? This day of hiking around the Gulperberg feels more like a holiday abroad! Along the way you will discover - in addition to magnificent views - the Gulp valley, the beautiful village of Mechelen, a water mill and a nice half-timbered farm. With this walking route you can enjoy beautiful views on the Gulperberg. You walk on narrow roads lined by deciduous trees. You soon descend towards the village of Party - over a steep road that racing cyclists like to use as training. You cross the Gulp stream: now you immediately know how the Gulperberg and the village of Gulpen got their name! This water is a side stream of the well-known Geul and is also called Kleine Geul. You follow the meandering Gulp to the ancient village of Mechelen. Immediately when you cross the Gulp again you see a half-timbered farm: Hotel Hoeve de Plei, a perfect place for coffee with real Limburg flan. Settle down on the sunny patio in the courtyard, in the shady garden or in one of the cozy corners inside by the fireplace.
