Hoogcruts, Rural settlement in Eijsden-Margraten and Gulpen-Wittem, Netherlands.

The settlement of Hoogcruts spans across two municipalities, situated on the Margraten Plateau at an elevation of 188 meters above sea level.

The fifteenth-century Hoogcruts Monastery ruins stand as a testament to the medieval religious presence in this South Limburg region.

The name Hoogcruts, known locally as Ge Kruuts in Limburgish dialect, derives from the prominent cross at the main intersection.

The N598 provincial road provides direct access to Hoogcruts, connecting the settlement to neighboring villages of Noorbeek and Slenaken.

A wrought-iron memorial cross honors Alphons Detry, the first Dutch soldier who fell during the 1944 liberation of the Netherlands.
