South Limburg is a paradise for hikers. Rolling hills, sunken lanes, half-timbered houses, and babbling streams create a landscape that feels almost un-Dutch in its beauty. From Aparthotel Ons Epen, you step straight into the Heuvelland: the Geul Valley, the Eperheide, and the Vijlener Forest are literally at your feet. And for those who love a true challenge, this is also the perfect starting point for part of the famous Dutch Mountain Trail, an adventurous 101-kilometer route connecting seven “summits.” From Eygelshoven station to Maastricht, the trail leads you across rugged paths, breathtaking panoramas, and steep elevation gains. It’s no surprise that it’s known as the toughest hike in the Netherlands.

After a day full of fresh air, silence, and adventure, you return to the tranquillity of your suite. Here, a warm bath, soft beds, and the refined hospitality of Veronica and René Alberts await you, your home in the Heuvelland.
