The Cottesserbeek and the Beversbergbeek are two smaller streams in South Limburg, often tributaries or substreams of larger waterways like the Geul. They flow through the hilly landscape and contribute to the area's rich biodiversity. These streams create natural wetlands where unique plants and animals live, making the landscape diverse and vibrant.

Cottesserbeek and Beversbergbeek
Cottesserbeek
You are near the Cottesserbeek. This flows upstream into the Geul River. The Cottesserbeek is also called the Border Stream because it forms almost the entire border between the Netherlands and Belgium. At its junction with the Cottesserbeek, the Geul flows into the Netherlands.
A few hundred meters upstream from this peak is a measuring point of the Limburg Water Board. There, the amount of water flowing into the Netherlands via the Geul is measured daily.
Length: 1.8 kilometers.
Average discharge: 8.5 liters per second. Average flow velocity: 0.15 m/second. Characteristic: always water-bearing.
