View of Cranenweyer

Highlight • Viewpoint

In the mid-20th century, the Kerkrade coal mines discharged their polluted wastewater into the surrounding waterways. These included the Ham and Domaniale mines. They used the Anstelerbeek stream for this purpose. After the mines closed, measures were taken to improve the surrounding area. One of these measures was the construction of a hiking area, which includes this reservoir.

Strijthagerbeek Valley

Highlight • Forest

The stream valley is about 3.5 kilometers long and bends east in the north. It stretches from Winselerhof in the south to Eygelshoven in the northeast. In Eygelshoven, the Strijthagerbeek valley flows into the Anstel valley. To the south, the valley is bordered by the Spekholzerheide plateau. To the east and west of the valley lies a low ridge, the Schaesberg plateau, which merges into the Nieuwenhagen plateau in the north and forms the northern valley boundary. The valley is bordered by several districts: Schaesberg and Eikske to the west, Terwinselen to the south, and the Dentgenbach industrial estate to the east.

Strijthagerbeek Walk

Highlight • Trail

Via the Strijthagerbeek you come to the Strijthager Watermill.
Unfortunately not in use, and could use a good refurbishment.
But the Strijthager stream valley is a beautiful area.
