The Most Atmospheric Christmas Market in the Netherlands!
Beneath the castle ruins of Valkenburg, centuries-old corridors wind their way through the yellow marlstone. The Christmas market that spreads its stalls through the caves each year makes a visit to this cosy cave even more enchanting.

Underground Christmas market and cosy Christmas café.
