Limbourg
A fortified hilltop town on the Vesdre River, with well-preserved cobblestone squares, city walls, and a Gothic church. It was once the capital of the Duchy of Limburg.
Limbourg lies east of Verviers and was the capital of the medieval Duchy of Limburg. The old town sits on a rocky spur above the Vesdre River, with remnants of city walls, stone houses, and a linden square paved with cobblestones, while the Church of Saint George stands on high ground. The town is very small and can be walked in about an hour, offering a quiet, rustic atmosphere. It can be combined with the Gileppe Dam or Spa for a half-day trip. From Liège, take the train to Dolhain station, then walk about 15 minutes uphill.
