A trip to Gulpen means that you’re in a perfect environment to go hiking or mountain biking. Grab some maps at one of the local tourist information offices (VVV) or you can venture out on your own. Whatever you do, make sure to drop by one of the many terraces you’ll find on your journey for some cold drinks and a good meal or some famous Limburgse vlaai (pie).
