Water sources Limburg - Eastern Heuvelland

Here the shallow sources of our drinking water are very vulnerable. This is due to the porous soil, which means that everything you do above ground almost immediately affects the groundwater quality.

So everything is being done to protect these areas, especially Roodborn and Craubeek. Because every year, approximately 6.1 billion liters of water are extracted, purified, softened and delivered to your home via the tap. This drinking water is intended for Gulpen-Wittem, Voerendaal and Simpelveld.

Enjoy the marked route, but handle the environment with care! That means:

• stay on roads and paths;
• do not damage plants;
• take rubbish with you;
• keep the dog on a leash and pick up the poop.
