Soon numerous small streams flow together to form the fast-flowing Göhl, which winds its way about 56 km through the Land of the Three Borders and the Heuvelland. The Göhltal can be hiked from the source to the Meuse, where everyone can become familiar with a border region that boasts a rich history, culture and diversity. The Göhltalroute Via Gulia from the source to the Meuse is about 53 kilometers.
