Open-air theater Valkenburg

On the flanks of the Cauberg among the marl and greenery lies open-air theater Valkenburg. It is the oldest open-air theater in our country and was designed by architect Pierre Cuypers. Because of the shape of an amphitheater, you are assured of good sight and hearing at every spot.
