Koningsbosch is located next to the German border, approximately 10 kilometres east of the town of Echt.

The neighbourhood of Koningsbosch, which also includes the hamlets Echterbosch, Spaanshuisken, Aan Reijans and the surrounding countryside, covers an area of 0.27 km²,[3] has 1.711 inhabitants (as of 1 May 2005) and consists of some 700 houses.

The village is slowly growing with the younger generation moving in and the recent construction of additional playgrounds and a community center.

The name Koningsbosch, "King's Forest", dates back from the time of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor.

Successes of the local male choir "Koninklijk erkend mannenkoor St. Caecilia" are from earlier days.
