The route starts in the village of Elkenrade. From here you walk into the Eyserbos. How wonderfully quiet it is here! A little later you cross the Geul to Gulpen. You will pass the striking church tower that once housed St. Peter's Church. The church tower dates from the thirteenth century and originally also served as a defensive structure. Then you walk through the meadows and forests to Wijlre.

In Wijlre you will pass the Sint-Gertrudiskerk from 1839 and the Brandbrouwerij, the oldest in the Netherlands. Wijlre Castle was built around 1625, the castle is not accessible. Eat or drink something at Brasserie Amuseer in Wijlre, it's time for a terrace! Further on you walk through the Geuldal, one of the most beautiful stream valleys in the Netherlands. You walk back to your starting point on a car-free road, overlooking meadows and wooded slopes.
