    Tips

    December 19, 2020

    The South Limburg landscape is rich in marl quarries and caves. A special cavity with an overhanging wall may have once provided shelter for prehistoric inhabitants. The discovery of flint tools led to further archaeological investigations in 2009. The cavities used to be used by birds such as jackdaws, while people used the mountain centuries ago to extract marlstone. This place is the only known shelter in the Netherlands and is managed by Natuurmonumenten. It is probably the oldest 'building' under their management.
