Waterval, Rural hamlet in Meerssen, Netherlands.
The hamlet extends through the Watervalderbeek valley between Ulestraten and Raar, featuring a steep slope known as Wijngaardsberg at 125 meters above sea level.
Archaeological discoveries from 1984 revealed numerous prehistoric sites containing polished axes and flint tools from the Middle and Late Stone Age near Waterval.
