The Pruus Karel II Quarry is a former marl quarry in South Limburg that offers an impressive glimpse into the history of marl extraction. The quarry boasts rugged white marl walls and a unique industrial atmosphere where you can almost feel the history of Valkenburg's building materials. Walking along the quarry, you'll see how nature and culture converge in this unique landscape.
