Wild Garlic Trail at Savelsbos

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Savelsbos is a paradise for those who love wild garlic. In April and May (depending on the weather) the forest is filled with the scent of wild garlic, especially in some ditches that then seem like seas of wild garlic. But also some paths offer the enthusiast just that little bit more, like this part.

Savelsbos — The Henkeput

Highlight • Cave

The Henkeput (in the dialect 'Eenkeput') is located north of the Schone Grub on a slope of the plateau. It is an open funnel-shaped pit, turning into a cylindrical shaft, which gives access to a dome-shaped space excavated in marl with a flat bottom, from which a large number of niches emanate. You can read that and all other facts about this well - at least for those interested - at vuursteenmijnen.nl/rijckholt/de-henkeput.html

Start point: 🅿️ Sint-Martinuskerk Gronsveld
Route of about 2:30 hours
The weather forecast predicts a beautiful day.

The Savelsbos is in full bloom.
Especially the Wild Garlic is clearly visible and smells strongly.
The birds can be heard and seen well.
Simply a fantastic walk.
Some steep inclines though.

It's always a pleasure to come back to this wood as the possibilities of routes are numerous. Here, it was a first under the snow and it was very pleasant to discover the place under a completely different face.
