== Geography == The source of the Geul is at about {{convert|300|m|ft}} above sea level in northeastern Belgium near the German border, south of the German town of [[Aachen]]. From there, after flowing some {{convert|20|km|mi}} in a northwestern direction, it leaves Belgium and enters the Netherlands at Cottessen in the [[Vaals]] municipality. After a further {{convert|38|km|mi}} in a west-northwestern direction through the southernmost part of [[Limburg (Netherlands)|Limburg]], which in its turn is the most southern province of the Netherlands, it flows into the Meuse, north of the city of [[Maastricht]]. A tributary of the Geul is the [[Gulp (river)|Gulp]]. Places through which the Geul passes are among others [[Kelmis]] (Belgium), [[Valkenburg aan de Geul]], including [[Schin op Geul]], and [[Meerssen]] (Netherlands).
