    Hiking

    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.

    Beautiful environment. Most of the underground quarry has disappeared due to surface mining, but a few niches in the rock wall and two small corridors have been preserved.

    The rock wall on the north side contains some fine examples of so-called "geological organ pipes", where the limestone is dissolved by the action of rainwater and the top layer comes down. There is even an organ pipe that has already completely emptied and thus forms an open cavity.
