A spectacular view over the deep Curfsgroeve between Berg and Meerssen, where limestone was extracted for 70 years. From the viewpoint you can see steep limestone walls and forests that offer a sheltered habitat for rare plants and animals such as the kingfisher and yellow-bellied toad. An impressive place full of geological and natural wealth.
