Saint Servatius (Servatius) was the last bishop of Tongeren and the first bishop of Maastricht. According to tradition, he died in Maastricht in 384 AD. Saint Servatius and Armenia There are few sources from the time of Servatius. According to legend, he was born in Armenia and was a second cousin of Jesus. The Kingdom of Armenia (or Greater Armenia), which existed from 190 BC to 428 AD, at its height encompassed an area between the Mediterranean and the Caspian Seas. In 301, Armenia was the first country to adopt Christianity as the state religion, and the oldest cathedral in the world is located in Ejmiadzin. The oldest mention of Saint Servatius' Armenian origins dates from the 11th century. This is believed to be based on older, now lost sources. His probable connection with Armenia, however, does explain the many different objects and relics related to Servatius originating from that country. As early as the sixth century, several memorial churches were built over his grave, culminating in the current basilica. Over time, Servatius' remains were "elevated," that is, placed in impressive reliquaries: the body of Servatius in the shrine ("Noodkist") and the skull in the bust.

This entire area, from Spaubeek, Genout, Schimmert, to Hulsberg, has a lot of gravel paths. I go there very often and I still discover new trails.

Info/Source: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sluis_Limmel The Limmel Lock was a lock complex on the Juliana Canal in Maastricht, consisting of two adjacent locks. It was one of the locks along the canal, completed in 1934, which together had to bridge a drop of 23 meters. The Borgharen weir and lock complex lies southwest of the lock in the Meuse River. A new single-chamber lock was built between 2016 and 2018, eliminating the lockage regime. In the future, the lock will close at 1700 m³/s, but with a discharge of 1200 m³/s to 1700 m³/s, lockage will no longer be necessary. Due to the interventions on the Grensmaas, it takes longer for a high water level to reach. The Meuse riverbed has been widened in Itteren, Borgharen, and Geulle, and the banks have also been lowered. This has created more space for the non-navigable section of the Meuse, allowing it to handle higher discharges. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2195707790456196
