Bemelerbosch II quarry
The Bemelerbos Quarry II or Bemelerbosch Quarry II is a marl quarry in the Dutch municipality of Eijsden-Margraten. The quarry is located east of Bemelen in the Bemelerbos on the western slope of the Mettenberg. The quarry is located on the western edge of the Margraten Plateau in the transition to the Maas Valley. In the area, the plateau plunges steeply for several meters. The quarry is located in the area of Bemelerberg & Schiepersberg.
About 150 meters to the northeast is the Bemelerbos quarry I,
about 200 meters to the northeast is the Bemelerbos quarry III
and about 300 meters to the south are the Mettenberg quarry I, Mettenberg quarry II and Mettenberg quarry III.
The quarry was mined by block crushers for the extraction of limestone blocks.
Part of the entrance to the quarry has collapsed. This small quarry has a valley wall fracture in the corridor, but in 2016 it did not pose a danger.
The quarry is located on the grounds of the Limburgs Landschap.
