Take the cable car to the Wilhelmina Tower
The Valkenburg cable car is one of the city's most famous attractions and takes visitors to the top of the Heunsberg in just a few minutes.

The cable car is a fun and accessible activity for young and old and marks the start of an afternoon of relaxation and adventure for many visitors. At the top of the hill, various activities, viewpoints, and walking routes await, showing Valkenburg from a completely different perspective.
History and location
The cable car is located on the edge of Valkenburg's town center and connects the city to the top of the Heunsberg. From here, you have one of the most beautiful views of the Geul Valley and the South Limburg hills. The cable car was built to easily transport visitors to the top of the hill, where various recreational activities and viewpoints can be found.
What can you see and experience there
The cable car ride itself is an experience. As you slowly ascend, you see the center of Valkenburg getting smaller and smaller, and you get a beautiful view of the city and the surrounding nature. Once at the top, you can climb the Wilhelmina Tower. From this tower, you have a panoramic view of the hilly landscape of South Limburg. On a clear day, you can see for miles.
In addition to the view, there are various activities to be found on the hill. For example, there is a toboggan run where visitors can ride down the hill in a cart. There are also walking paths and terraces where you can rest for a while and enjoy the view.
