Soon, numerous small streams merge and form the fast-flowing Göhl, which meanders about 56 km through the land of the Three Borders and the Heuvelland. The Göhltal can be hiked from the source to the Maas, allowing everyone to become familiar with a border region rich in history, culture, and diversity. The Göhltalroute Via Gulia from the source to the Maas is about 53 kilometers long.
