Since prehistoric times , people have been attracted to the South Limburg Meuse valley and the plateau. Natural connections and fertile land have made people like to settle here for centuries. The routes that the medieval Meuse valley inhabitants followed to higher, untouched lands led to new settlements and created historical connections between residents.

With this walking route you follow in the footsteps of the early medieval Maasdal inhabitants, while enjoying the varied landscape of the municipality of Eijsden-Margraten. In Eijsden there are plenty of catering establishments for a nice cup of coffee. You can also easily park there.
