town has well-preserved half-timbered houses with ornate slate roofs. Tucked into a peaceful hilly landscape, it is dominated by the ruins of two fortresses.

Half Day to Thorn

We visit Thorn, perched on a hillock beside the River Maas. It is known as the ‘white village’ and is unique, both architecturally and historically. All the brick houses are whitewashed, giving it a Mediterranean look, and surround a large church with streets paved with cobble stones in mosaic patterns.
Optional Excursions

This welcoming hotel is uniquely situated in an oasis of green and calm. Amidst verdant hills and the charming town of Valkenburg on the River Geul, the Hotel Riche is located close to the central pedestrianised area of the town, with shops, bars and restaurants.
