    The caves of Wonck are located on the slope just above the village of Wonck, they are former flint quarries and marl quarries. Nowadays mushroom cultivation still takes place, and one of the quarries is used as an event location.

      The surface area of ​​the Wonck caves is over 10,000 m².
      This part of the Geervallei has always been known for the peculiarities of the subsoil and especially for the flint found in abundance. This was popular because of its hardness, which allowed it to be used to make tools. It was also a very strong building material, as evidenced by the church tower.
      The age of the caves is estimated at over 2000 years. There are currently no fewer than a few hundred kilometers of galleries underground in the region.
      During every war they served as a refuge. Numerous engravings testify to this.
      Births have even taken place.
