One of the St. Jansbosch quarries in the area. You can look into the quarry but not into it.
The quarry is closed with a fence so that bats can get in, but we humans have to stay outside.

Hiking
Deep in the tranquil woods near Valkenburg lie St. Jansbosch Quarries IV and V—two old marl quarries that recall the days when marl was still intensively mined here. The entrances, partially hidden among ferns and vegetation, exude a mysterious atmosphere and reveal the intertwining of nature and history here. These quarries were part of a larger network of underground passages once essential for the construction of many Limburg monuments. Today, they are silent monuments to craftsmanship and transience, offering a special place of peace and wonder during a walk through the woods.
