This bridge was given the name Ingendaelerbrökske as you can see on the sign on the bridge of the local history association. It gives you access to the nature reserve Ingendael over the Geul.

The nature reserve changes from a plateau forest into a slope forest that ends at the Geul. Behind this lie damp chalk grasslands. In the plateau forest lies the Meertensgroeve, a former open marl quarry. The deep, sheltered crater is now a protected natural monument and a herd of goats graze there.

Wild boars forage for food in the slope forest. In the marshy chalk grassland the rarest plant and animal species get the chance to survive.

And with this bridge you get there. At this time of year there is wild garlic and you will also find a poem by Rutger Kopland.

The nature reserve is wonderful for hiking. No emissions or noise anywhere, but plenty of nature.

This passage was not possible due to a flooded path after the barrier (December). But the improvised diversion along the Gueulle is just as pleasant

The Geul (Limburgish Gäöl, German: Göhl, French: Gueule, old names: Gullo (922), Guel and Goel (15th century) and Gule) is a river that rises with several sources in the municipality of Raeren in Belgium at the Zyklopensteine on the German border, near the town of Lichtenbusch. It leaves Belgium at Sippenaeken and enters the Netherlands at Cottessen. At the hamlet of Voulwames above Itteren it flows into the Maas. The average discharge of the Geul is approximately 4 m3/s.
General
The Geul is 58 kilometres long and the total drop is approximately 250 metres. Former canals have been or are being closed since the beginning of the 21st century, so that the river can follow its old course and meander naturally through the South Limburg landscape again. The Geul is fed by a large number of tributaries in Belgium and the Netherlands.

Info: Ingendaelerbrökske
The board of our association has taken the initiative to provide the two Geul bridges in Ingendael with names and nameplates, namely the "Ingendaelerbrökske" and
the "Kloasterbrökske."
During a walk on Sunday afternoon, January 15, 2006, the nameplates were officially unveiled by Mrs. Nicole Cordewener, manager of the Southern region of Het Limburgs Landschap, and Fons Heijnens of the local history association.
Mr. J. Gootzen, geographer, explained the local geography and geology during the walk.

The Geul
The Geul is 58 kilometers long and has a total drop of approximately 250 meters. Former canals have been or are being removed since the beginning of the 21st century, allowing the river to follow its old course and meander naturally through the South Limburg landscape once again. In Belgium and the Netherlands, the Geul is fed by numerous tributaries.

A bridge provides a connection between two banks. Usually a bridge is over water: a ditch, a canal, moat, river, lake, ravine, ...

Hidden in the greenery between meadows and hedgerows lies the Ingendaelerbrökske.

A small footbridge over the Geul River, it connects hikers with the tranquility of the valley. The bridge marks one of the most beautiful crossings in the Geul Valley: here, the water ripples gently beneath you, while on either side the landscape opens up in a mix of grasslands, treelines, and rolling hills.

The name refers to the hamlet of Ingendael, which for centuries was part of the Geul watershed. The bridge is situated in a spot where water, history, and nature converge. The Ingendaelerbrökske is especially picturesque in the morning or evening sun.
