The Pruus Karel II quarry is the only one of the three quarries called "Pruus Karel" whose entrance is visible, the other two are overgrown or covered under the ground. Small quarry, with a corridor length of approx. 34 meters; the entrance is closed off with a fence.

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.
