Van Tienhoven Mill

Highlight • Monument

The Van Tienhoven mill in the hamlet of Wolfshuis in the Dutch-Limburg municipality of Eijsden-Margraten is a belt mill from 1855. It is the only mill in the Netherlands that was built entirely from marl stone and is abundant in the region. The hood is covered with roofing felt. The mill was in operation until 1938 and has been a national monument since 1967. The mill has a pair of grinders with a 16th artificial stone 140 cm in diameter.
The Van Tienhoven mill can be visited every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
The interesting story can be read on Wikipedia.

Valkenburg on the Geul

Highlight • Settlement

Valkenburg has been one of the Netherlands' most important holiday destinations since around 1840, and tourism is the municipality's main source of income. This has much to do with the medieval town's picturesque location, but the extensive labyrinths of underground quarries also played an important role from the very beginning. However, the original idea of using the caves for air cures never came to fruition.

Historic Center of Valkenburg

Highlight • Historical Site

The history of Valkenburg goes back to the Middle Ages. The Lordship (since 1357 County) of Valkenburg had its origins in Old Valkenburg at Genhoes Castle. For strategic reasons, the lords moved their seat to the Heunsberg, where the castle was built around 1075, today the ruins of Valkenburg.

The castle grounds are very diverse. An unusual sculpture park, the castle itself, an adjoining hotel with gastronomy, the extensive park offer a great flair.

Curfsgroeve Lime Kiln

Highlight • Monument

The Kalkoven bij Curfsgroeve is a dilapidated lime kiln from 1916, located in nature near Geulhem (South Limburg), near the former Curfsgroeve. In the past, marl was burned here into lime. The area is now a protected nature reserve with special animals and fossils. You can walk there via marked routes with beautiful views over the quarry. The place combines cultural history, geology and nature.
