Tips4Trips: Christmas markets in Valkenburg and the Caves of Han
Once the end of November arrives, the undersigned changes annually into a cuddly Charles Dickens doll.
In that period, 'He Who Always Sober Is' thawed into a nuclear power plant of romance that suddenly hums Christmas songs.
Can you imagine my bliss when the Hoofdpief of this news site asked if I could contribute to a national and international Christmas market. Pregnant with anticipation, I'm already saluting my first 'White Christmas'.
For the foreign Christmas market, we went all out for Valkenburg. For those in our own country, we chose the magical location of the Caves of Han. So Han-sur-less We'll start just past Maastricht because in Valkenburg we'll go underground. The atmospheric Christmas markets in the Gemeentegrot, MergelRijk, Winter Wonderlands and the Velvet Cave ensure up to. January 5 for a unique and wintery experience. Above ground, I can visit Santa's Village on Walram Square and there are various winter walking routes that get me into the Christmas spirit. During the Route d'Amuse, I enjoy all kinds of delicious snacks, while the Kribkes walks introduce me to beautiful nativity scenes. The Twinkeltocht, on the other hand, shows me the highlights with a playful, interactive twist and I discover the lively street theater that brings Valkenburg to life.
