This year we are celebrating the 20th edition of the Route d’Amuse! Choose for Route 1 (Yellow) – Start: The Wedding Castle. Your amuse tour starts at restaurant Mon Rêve in Kasteel Oost: Koonings the Wedding Castle.
The Route d’Amuse is a walking route where you stop along the way to enjoy delicious amuses at the best restaurants.
In addition to our standard drink menu, we also serve our winter specials such as hot chocolate and mulled wine.

For 2024, four different walking routes have been created, where you can enjoy a tasty adventure for just €12.95 per person. During a route of about 5 km – a journey that you will complete at your leisure in about four hours – you can enjoy a delicious amuse at four different restaurants, prepared especially for you.
At each stop you will be served a unique amuse bouche (not including a drink), and of course, if you feel like it, you can also order a drink.
This year you have to book in advance, choosing both the date and your start time. Reservations can easily be made online or at the counter at the VVV (Visit Zuid-Limburg) store. You don’t need to reserve a specific spot – usually there is just room to sit down and enjoy your snack. There is a special children’s amuse for the little ones and vegetarians can get a vegetarian version upon request.
The amuses can be sampled daily between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. (on Boxing Day until 4 p.m.). It’s smart to set aside four hours for your walk so you can visit all the stops at your leisure and not miss anything.
You start your trek at the first restaurant on your route, which is clearly marked on your ticket. Some parts of the route are unlit or may be slippery, especially if you walk later in the day. Good shoes and a flashlight are recommended then. Besides the pleasant streets of Valkenburg, you will also walk through a piece of nature. If you come with a baby carriage or if the weather is not so good, there are usually alternative paths that are easier to walk on.
Come enjoy a delicious winter walk with the Route d’Amuse in Valkenburg and be surprised by the tasty creations of local chefs!
