The Vogelbos quarry is a former marl quarry in the Dutch municipality of Valkenburg aan de Geul in South Limburg. The underground quarry is located on the southwest side of Valkenburg on the Daalhemerweg on the western edge of the Heunsberg on the northern edge of the Margraten Plateau in the transition to the Geuldal. The quarry is located in the Vogelbos forest.
To the southwest lies the Ackermans Quarry with the Steenkolenmijn Valkenburg and MergelRijk, to the northeast lies the Kerkhofs Quarry.
In the 20th century, the quarry was mined by block crushers for the extraction of marl.
The quarry has an area of approximately 193 square meters.
The quarry is closed with a fence, so that bats can use the quarry as a roost.
The manager of the quarry is the municipality of Valkenburg aan de Geul. In 2018, the quarry was examined for safety and was partially approved.
