The 10 Best Walking Tours in Limburg Province, The Netherlands

November 7, 2021 Karren Gelb

Getting its name from the medieval Duchy of Limburg (now split among Holland, Belgium and Germany and the birthplace of the infamously pungent Limburger cheese), Limburg is the Netherlands’ southernmost region. Many of the area’s best attractions are concentrated in the capital of Maastricht, but other sights include the 12th-century Valkenburg castle ruins, the 17th-century Eijsden castle, the 20th-century Glaspaleis (built next to a medieval church at Heerlen), and De Meinweg National Park.

It was a fun hunt to do with the kids (13 & 8 yrs old). If you book through Trip Advisor, you'll get a code. Then you need a create an account on the provider's web site and enter the code. It was a bit long, but used the helpline and it got answered right away, so was ok. Once you get to the first designated area, it is pretty easy to follow the next steps. We did it over 2 days and took about 1.5 hours each day (we took our time). I gave 4 stars instead of 5, since I would have appreciated a link with google map (or equivalent) to walk through the hunt and show us how to get from one place to another (would be a nice addition). :)
