Groot Haasdal and Klein Haasdal, together called Hazel, are two hamlets belonging to Schimmert in the municipality of Beekdaelen. The name Haasdal probably comes from the Germanic "habukas dala" = "valley of the hawk".

It is somewhat ironic that at the beginning of the hamlet of Groot Haasdal there is a large wooden hare along the road, reportedly made from the remains of the trunk of a giant sequoia that died during a storm in 2015.

After all, Groot Haasdal is named after one of the more powerful birds of prey, the hawk. And in addition to birds, it also likes smaller mammals such as squirrels and rabbits. Incidentally, there are other places in the area named after birds of prey. For example, there is Valkenburg itself of course.
