The Trichterberg quarry is located in the forest to the left of the steep Eckelraderweg, between Gronsveld and Eckelrade. Diagonally opposite are dole chambers. The quarry has been designated as a “Geological Monument”. Steep limestone walls with here and there sawn surfaces and a few small corridor remains are the only remains. Not much is known about the Trichterberg quarry. That is why Peter Jennekens, Kevin Amendt and Rob Habets wrote a source overview for the magazine of the Study Group Underground Limestone Quarries - Natural History Society in Limburg. Based on this, they cautiously conclude that the origin of the quarry must lie somewhere between the years 1846 and 1867.

INFO board [nl]: Mill Nekum to Prins Bisschopssingel The Roer en Overmaas water board has widened the Jeker from the Nekum mill to the Prins Bisschopssingel in Maastricht to prevent flooding. The construction of a fish ladder removed the fish migration bottleneck at the mill (until 1930, glaze was ground here to make pottery waterproof). Fish can now easily pass the mill to lay their eggs upstream, among other things. In the Aquadra project, the water board is working across borders with ten water managers in South Limburg and Belgium to further improve water quality and prevent flooding in the catchment areas of the Jeker, Voer, Berwijn and Geul.

Text board [see photo] Limestone quarry Trichterberg Geological Monument Limestone quarry Trichterberg In the past, limestone was mined at this location. This limestone was used as building blocks and at a later time for fertilizing (oenergelen) fields and meadows ` In the upper Cretaceous (80 to 65 million years ago) the whole of South Limburg was flooded by a 'Cretaceous sea'. Many plants and animals that are now extinct lived in this tropical sea. The limestone visible here consists of countless skeletons of small plants and animals that formed the plankton. Many large animals also lived in this Cretaceous sea, such as the ten-meter-long 'Mosasaur'. Flint Flint is a hard rock that can form in pure limestone under very special circumstances. Flint consists of pure silica (SiO2). In the Stone Age, this rock was used for making stone tools. Until the last century, flint was used to make fire using the Tinderbox.

There is a winery behind the bridge. Note that it is not open on Sundays. It is best to research the opening times before the hike.
