[2] The remains of three Roman farms were found in the village, including a large villa, which were built between 75-100 CE by retired soldiers and public servants who were granted land in the area.

At this time Huls also included the separate area of Lauvenberg, which is no longer mentioned in atlasses.

The Huls hill lies on the southern edge of the Plateau of Ubachsberg above the Eyserbeek valley in the south.

[5] With a height of 215 meters above NAP the Huls hill is one of the highest point in the European part of the Netherlands.

[6] In the centre of the village lies the Joseph the Worker Church, which was built in 1955 on the top of the hill, and is surrounded by an open area.

[2][7] The Huls is part of the Mergellandroute, a tourist route for cars and bikes through South Limburg, Netherlands, mapped out by the ANWB.
