Puth, Netherlands. A Quiet and Lovely Town.

Sometimes the best places you will visit are the ones you've never heard of.

The village of Puth is a small farming community you might easily pass by when traveling through the Limburg region in the Netherlands. Still, if you’re looking for a beautiful and quiet countryside experience, you should stop to enjoy it.

My Dutch cousin invited us to stay with them in Puth while we were “backpacking” around Europe. It was an amazing time and experience.

Puth has a population of approximately 1,900 people. The homes range from modern to old farmhouses, and the narrow cobblestone streets give the area a truly historic vibe and European charm. There are no hotels here, but there are a few bed-and-breakfast options in the area if you want to stay.

For entertainment or eating, there’s not much actually in the town — you’ll have to drive down the street to neighboring villages like Sweikhuizen to enjoy some fantastic coffee, pastries, or beer.

We highly recommend visiting Cafe Meels and Brood op de plank, both friendly and inviting local businesses. 💕

If you enjoy walking or hiking, Puth has plenty of options.

There are many walking paths around the town, and you can easily get to other villages without having to drive or ride a bike — but be aware of the bikers because the Lance Armstrong types can be aggressive and rude. 😡

Boventse Puth, Sweikhuizen, Schinnen, and Abshoven are a few towns you can easily check out on your walks. Each has something unique to offer.

We felt at home there and many of the people we interacted with were very friendly. We loved the beautiful sunsets and the serenity of country life while still being minutes away from stores and bars.
