A story is rarely big. It is the winter that the Geul froze and the entire village was on ice. It's the neighbor who called everyone by the wrong name and never stopped. It's what it smelled like in the bakery on Saturday morning, and that smell is no longer there.
This page contains the memories that Valkenburgers have written down themselves. Not from a history book, but firsthand — with details that only someone who was there would know.
