    Hiking

    The Groeve onder de Keutenberg is an underground quarry and former air raid shelter. The quarry is located between Schin op Geul and Wijlre between the hamlets of Engwegen and Stokhem.
    Between 3 July and 3 September 1944, a shelter was built here during the Second World War, where the local population of Etenaken could take shelter during air raids and shelling. An emergency bridge was built over the Geul so that the residents could reach the shelter dry.

    In the Keutenberg Quarry, you'll find a historic air raid shelter, a remnant from wartime that recalls the region's turbulent history. The shelter is hidden between the marl walls and offers an impressive glimpse into how people protected themselves during conflicts.
