Tips

April 5, 2025

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.
