Description

A relatively unknown green pearl on the border: the Schinveld forests. In some places, seepage water comes to the surface through two thick impermeable clay layers in the soil. Nature offers protection for drinking water sources and helps to keep the groundwater as clean as possible.

Hidden in the Schinveld forests is WML\\\'s Schinveld pumping station. The forest gradually merges into the moist grasslands along the Rode Beek. WML pumps 4 billion liters of water here every year, accounting for approximately 5% of Limburg's drinking water supply.

This walking route takes you past the various water extraction wells and the pumping station where the groundwater is purified via marble filtration, among other things.

Enjoy this walking tour. So walk responsibly. 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.
