Walking through Posterholt – a ribbon village with a story
Posterholt is the second largest village in the municipality of Roerdalen. Stretching for about five kilometres, it is a typical ribbon village, with farms lining the edge of the Vlootbeek valley. This stream valley was formed in the last Ice Age by the Roer and Maas rivers. Around 11,500 years ago, the first inhabitants settled here. Later, the Romans also made use of this area.
An important role
Although the Vlootbeek and the Leijgraaf may seem like small streams, they played an important role in the region’s water system in the past. Until well into the last century, Posterholt was also known for its Catholic education in home economics and agriculture. The buildings are gone, but the stories from the rich Catholic life remain.
With a VVV guide, you’ll discover fascinating details and gain insight into things you might otherwise overlook. Join the walk and be surprised by the beauty and history of Posterholt.
