The Gulp ({{lang-fr|Galoppe}}) is a {{convert|21|km|mi}} long river in eastern Belgium and southeastern Netherlands. It flows through the Belgian provinces of Liège and Limburg, and the Dutch province of Limburg. It is a strongly meandering, fast flowing, left-bank tributary of the Geul river. Because of it strong meanders, it is difficult to determine its exact length.

During Roman times, the river was called Galopia or Gulippa, meaning little Geul or upper brook.{{disputed inline|Roman times?|date=September 2015}} The Gulp is a real trout brook: flowing fast and rich in oxygen. Brook trout is abundant. The landscape of the narrow Gulp valley resembles much the valley of the Geul: a fascinating mixture of deciduous forests, meadows, farmland, muddy banks, stream pools, orchards and

holle wegen (eroded dirt roads).

Flow

The source is in Henri-Chapelle. It joins the Geul near Gulpen,[1] overlooked by motte-and-bailey castle Gracht Burggraaf. It flows through the villages Hombourg, Teuven (both in Belgium), Slenaken and Gulpen (both in the Netherlands).

From its source in Henri-Chapelle, a village of the municipality of Welkenraedt, province of Liège it runs in a northwestern direction across the Dutch border, after which it flows into the Geul. This happens near a motte-and-bailey castle called "Burggraaf" at Gulpen, where also the Eyserbeek river joins the Geul from the opposite bank. This is the place and municipality to which it evidently gets its name.
