When The Brewery Taproom's Shut
johngayton Says: The Gulpener Brewery has it's own taproom across the road from the brewery itself. This looks like quite a lively place with good eats, live music and of course the beers.Unfortunately on the Monday evening I stopped off in the town it was shut, but no worries as the product...
A holy cross(road) for holiday pilgrims
Pavlik_NL Says: Now-a-days South Limburg is a true paradise for those who love walking and/or biking during their holidays. However, many centuries ago, here people also walked, slowly going towards the goal of their pilgrimage. Southern Limburg was and is a Roman Catholic area and many...

Brasserie De Kroon: Limburg Onion Soup!
johngayton Says: On a July Monday evening the riverside terrace of the Hotel and Brasserie de Kroon seemed to be the place to be here in Gulpen, given that most of the town's population were here. Not surprising really as the place was catching the evening's sunshine and with another of the...

Passage: Gulpen's Shopping Mall
johngayton Says: I wasn't here for shopping but I did notice this new-looking mall in the town centre, just off the Marktplein and with the river flowing past.It looks to have a fairly comprehensive set of stores including a supermaket but seemed closed on the Monday evening I was there.
johngayton Says: There's not many places in the Netherlands where you get a chance to do this but Gulpen is one of them. Just make sure your brakes work before you career off downhill as there is a pedestrian crossing at the bottom of this one!The area is ideal for cyclists if you enjoy a...

Watching The Heron Looking For its Supper
johngayton Says: A short walk west of the town, not far off the main road, is what appears to be the town's resevoir which is yet another of its water features complete with cascading fountains and some oddbod artwork.Here I noticed this heron patiently waiting for its supper. I had a look...
johngayton Says: It is quite easy to get off the beaten path here in Gulpen as the town is small and compact and most of its buildings are clustered along the main through road. Once out of town you are in the rolling rural South Limburg landscape with its wooded hills and lush green...

johngayton Says: Although Gulpen isn't really on the tourist trail (although it is definitely worth stopping off at for lunch/supper or whatever) it does have a VVV Tourist Office and souvenir shop.This is situated at Dorpsstraat 27, just off the Marktplein, and is open Mondays to Saturdays...
A Little More About The Brewery
johngayton Says: Although I didn't get a chance to visit it this seems like a company with a proper business philosophy - they make beer for us drinkers to enjoy, make themselves a bit of money and at the same time support their local suppliers. They also seem to be very involved with their...

Gulpen, between green hills and valleys
South Limburg holds a magical attraction towards the rest of the Netherlands. Of course because of it's Bourgondian lifestyle with deliscious and lots of food and drinks, but above all because of the...

When I noticed the Gulpener brewery as my bus from Maastricht to Vaals passed it I reckoned I should make time for a visit to the town on my return trip. This was where my Veolia South Limburg bus......
