The renowned South Limburg Hill Country and Valkenburg with its rolling countryside, the result of upheavals in the earth’s crust thousands of years ago, is a fantastic holiday destination where you will encounter typical Limburg dice-shaped farmsteads in yellow marlstone or half-timbered construction. They are often monumental buildings, but can also be very simple houses built with marlstone and brick. You are certain to come upon them during your stay. In the Middle Ages, this region was also much coveted and fought over by hostile lords, as can still be seen from the many castles, strongholds, mills and ancient farmsteads.
