The Most Beautiful Hikes During the Golden Hour
The golden hour is the last hour before sunset and the first hour after sunrise, when the light is softer and warmer, ideal for taking photos. Perfect for setting out on an enjoyable hike. HBVL has collected the most beautiful hikes in Limburg during the golden hour. Below you can find the routes.

The green hiking loop of 5km in Grootloon takes you past beautiful vantage points over the Haspengouw fields and also passes the popular see-through chapel.
