    Hiking

    Marl extraction has resulted in a particularly relief-rich landscape for the Netherlands, which can be experienced from the edge of the quarry. Steep marl walls are a rich source of fossils that remained as remnants of a millions of years old Cretaceous Sea. The warm southern slopes are covered with forests.

    Here is a viewpoint with a bench.
