Hike & bike · Full day ~18 km
Hills & Trails Active Day
Chalk grasslands, ancient forests, cycling's holy Cauberg and the country's only real summit finish.
For legs that want to feel something: a day that mixes the region's best short hikes with its legendary cycling climbs. Do it all by (e-)bike from Valkenburg, or cherry-pick two or three stops on foot. Pack rain gear — weather moves fast over the hills.
