History in the rolling forests of Limburg - 10 trail runs in Limburg

Get ready for a trail run of over 17 kilometers through the Limburg forests. Your effort over this rolling terrain will be rewarded with interesting historical highlights and impressive views.

Hidden in the Savelsbos lies the prehistoric Rijckholt flint mine. If you are in your rhythm, you can continue running, but for those who want to catch their breath and are curious, it is definitely recommended to take a look. More than 6,000 years ago, flint utensils were made here.

A little further on you will pass another interesting historical point, namely one of the quarries in this area. You will regularly encounter them on your trail runs through Limburg, because the chalk landscape of South Limburg consists of land that people could use for all kinds of purposes long ago. The grooves were created when the soil was dug.

Running through a rolling landscape can be strenuous, but you are rewarded with beautiful views over the fields and forests just before halfway through the route.

The route starts at Bosrand campsite, where you can park or get off at the Bosrand campsite bus stop. Don't forget to bring plenty of water and a snack.
