Tips

Zonneberg Caves is part of a gigantic cave system that has 22,000 corridors. Over the years, all kinds of sculptures have been installed, each telling its own story. In addition, these images, together with all texts and other 'souvenirs from the past', tell the story of this rich underground history, such as the marl stone extraction that took place here for 700 years.

Just when I was at the entrance to the Zonneberg Cave, a group of visitors came outside with a scooter, so apparently that is also possible nowadays, when we went in it did not exist yet :) The most common comment from those who came outside is still always: oh, it takes some getting used to that light now :) About the scooter tour you can do: Visitmaastricht.nl/uitagenda/2381347520/steptocht-in-grotten-zonneberg-maastricht-underground

Visits to the caves are possible, but only as a guided tour, but absolutely fascinating. Anyone who has the opportunity should take advantage of it 👍

The Zonneberg Grottoes, like all other grottoes, are characterized by long corridors with very high ceilings (10 m from floor to ceiling), giving the grottos a sacred impression. Many ancient texts can also be found on the walls of these caves...

Absolute silence 🙉 and absolute darkness 🙈, really amazing - indescribable (35m below the surface of the earth).
