Tips from the Community
In the middle of the idyllic Geul Valley near Sippenaeken lies a unique 'fish migration facility'. This fish ladder ensures that fish, such as the brown trout and the rare grayling, can swim upstream to reach their spawning grounds. Without this ladder, the existing thresholds and weirs would be insurmountable obstacles.

Along the banks of the Gulp River, you'll discover a charming little waterfall. The water flows peacefully over a rock or weir, with shrubs growing nearby. The sound of flowing water adds a refreshing touch to the walk. It's especially crisper after rain due to the increased volume of water. In summer, the play of light on the water is a beautiful sight.

Along the Geul River, you'll find these unique waterfall steps. The flowing water cascades down in small cascades, creating a playful and soothing sound. A great photo opportunity and a place to take a break during your hike.

The site of the former Plombières mine is home to species-rich calcareous grassland meadows, now protected as a nature reserve. The exceptional flora and fauna of this area are due to the heavy metal-rich soils, particularly the presence of zinc in the subsurface. Among the natural meadow relics, visible traces of the former metal industry can still be found: – Walls from former foundry floors – Remains of old smelting furnaces – Stones from former industrial buildings A small stream meandering through the area further enriches the ecological diversity of this special place. The "Gueule" viewpoint, which offers a glimpse into a cave opening, is particularly impressive and worth a visit.

Today it is best known for its flora (zinc-rich soil) and the underground passage or "cave" where the Geule "disappears" for a moment and which was artificially constructed because too much water from the Geule flowed into the mine tunnels and they were therefore temporarily moved.
