The Kakkert has its source as the "Oirsbeek" (nicknamed the "Vloot") in Oirsbeek and flows into the Geleenbeek in Schinnen. The Total length is approximately three kilometers. The stream flows through a valley that has been ago was formed by erosion by the Meuse in the Doenrade Plateau.

In Oirsbeek, the stream is completely covered. Near the hamlet Wolfhagen, the brook comes to the surface, after which it is given the name "Kakkert" because of the rusty brown color of the water. [1] The stream flows through the Wolfhagerbos. Along the banks are swampy areas in which various sources and torments are situated, which are under the pressure of the plateau. Near the fish pond in Schinnen, the river flows into the Geleenbeek.
