A 70-km hiking tour in the night, rough the characteristic Hill Country. Start and finish are in Gulpen and come with quite a bit of festivities and attention. A secondary 40-km tour called the Neubourg tour is available for those who aren't up to the full tour. Along the route, volunteers offer points of rest and care. It's one of the main hiking events in the south, and perhaps the main Dutch night time hiking route. About 1000 hikers, including quite a few from across the borders, take part. Note that this distance requires some training, so don't join if you're not a regular hiker. Note that you can register well in advance, usually from the beginning of March, which will give a discount. Registering on the night itself is usually possible from 19:00-22:00 in the Toeristenkerk,Rosstraat 5.
This 1924 church in Neo-Romanesque style was built to replace the older Petruskerk of which now only the tower remains.
The 11th-13th century Roman style tower on the cemetery ground is the only remaining part of the medieval village church. Owing to its thick walls, historians believe it also served as a fortification at the time.
Most visible parts of this castle founded in the 14th century were constructed in the 17th and 18th centuries. Several of the surrounding buildings and the castle are listed as national heritage monuments. The property often changed hands but has mostly been empty since the last owner died in 1992. Plans for renovations have so far not been carried out, due to the high costs. Nevertheless, the castle in its nice green surroundings is a pretty sight and photo opportunity.
This tropical indoor and outdoor swimming pool is considered to be among the best in the country. In summers, during the holidays, it can get crowded here as locals and tourists flock to the pools and slides. Obviously, the outdoor pools are only attractive during the few warm weeks summer. There are plenty of facilities for children.
