Krekelberg is a hill southeast of Schinnen in the municipality of Beekdaelen. To the northeast of the hill is the neighborhood of Krekelberg and to the south is the hamlet of Thull. At the southwestern foot of the hill is the Mulderplas and the Geleenbeek flows. The hill has three peaks, the eastern one is the highest at over 102 meters.
Part of the Krekelberg is wooded. On the western hilltop in the forest is a Lady Chapel with Maria Park. A tree-lined lane runs through the forest over the two eastern peaks. Between the western peak and the two eastern peaks is a meadow.
The Krekelberg slope has been included several times in the cycling classic Amstel Gold Race. The climb goes up in two parts, each with a maximum gradient of 7%, between two parts is an almost flat road section for 200 meters.
