Savelsbos

Highlight • Forest

The Savelbos is a narrow, rugged hillside forest, one of the most beautiful forests in South Limburg. Beneath the forest, the corridors of (really) old quarries meander.

The minerals were gravel, marl and flint. There are several prehistoric flint mines in the Savelbos.

If you visit the Savelbos, you are entering badger territory. This is where the largest badger population in the Netherlands lives. You will definitely come across castles there. If you go in May, there is a strong smell of garlic in the forest and you will be enchanted by the white flowers of the wild garlic.

Trichterberggroeve Limestone Quarry

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Trichterberg quarry is located in the forest to the left of the steep Eckelraderweg, between Gronsveld and Eckelrade. Diagonally opposite are dole chambers. The quarry has been designated as a “Geological Monument”. Steep limestone walls with here and there sawn surfaces and a few small corridor remains are the only remains.

Not much is known about the Trichterberg quarry. That is why Peter Jennekens, Kevin Amendt and Rob Habets wrote a source overview for the magazine of the Study Group Underground Limestone Quarries - Natural History Society in Limburg.

Based on this, they cautiously conclude that the origin of the quarry must lie somewhere between the years 1846 and 1867.

Wild Garlic Trail at Savelsbos

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Savelsbos is a paradise for those who love wild garlic. In April and May (depending on the weather) the forest is filled with the scent of wild garlic, especially in some ditches that then seem like seas of wild garlic. But also some paths offer the enthusiast just that little bit more, like this part.
