Christmas Market Velvet Cave

Step into an underground Christmas world full of magic.

Deep beneath the centuries-old castle ruins of Valkenburg, the mysterious passages of the Velvet Cave wind their way through the soft marlstone. As soon as the holidays arrive, this special place transforms into the most beautiful, enchanting North Pole-themed Christmas setting, where history and the Christmas spirit come together.

Wander past festively lit stalls, filled with unique Christmas gifts, artisanal treats, and surprising finds. As the scent of warm winter specialties greet you, you can discover impressive charcoal drawings and extraordinary cave art on the centuries-old marl walls that bring the past to life. 

New: Meet Dewan, the cave’s guardian, and discover her enchanting elf kingdom. 

Take a break at the cozy underground food court, warm up with a delicious treat, and let yourself be swept away by the unique Christmas atmosphere that only the Velvet Cave can offer.
