Gulpen-Wittem (Dutch: [ˈɣʏlpə(ɱ) ˈʋɪtəm] ⓘ; Limburgish: Gullepe-Wittem [ˈɣʏləpə ˈwɪtəm])[tone?]

At the time of the merger, both municipalities had about 8000 inhabitants, although Wittem was bigger than Gulpen.

The former town hall of Wittem was situated in a manor house in Mechelen since 1986, which is now being used as a "nursing hostel".

The municipality is rural, with many castles, half-timbered houses and old monumental farms.

Yearly, Gulpen-Wittem attracts many tourists from the entire country because of its relatively sloping landscape, especially during the summer.
