It is a special cave

we tried to return to Maastricht using the Arriva bus. However, it was a small bus and only 3 seats were available. My friends walked.

Here you have a view of old marl quarries. You can see a marl wall with meadows, cows, or sheep.

The Strooberggroeve is a Limburg marl quarry in the Dutch municipality of Eijsden-Margraten. The underground quarry is located north of Bemelen under the Bemelerberg on the north side of the mouth of the dry valley Koelbosgrub in the Meuse valley. The quarry is located on the western edge of the Plateau of Margraten in the transition to the Meuse valley. At this point, the plateau drops steeply for a few meters. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strooberggroeve

TUYNHEG In the Middle Ages, not everyone was allowed to plant hedges. That is why small farmers made fences by means of a construction of posts, stuck planks in wickerwork of twigs. They called that a tuyn tuen or tuun The word tuin comes from it. Such a dead hedge, took up little space and could be easily moved. The disadvantage was that a lot of wood was needed, also for annual repairs Old craft Tuynen (gardens, tuunen, tunen) is an almost lost craft. Fortunately, a few elderly hedge weavers were able to pass on their knowledge to the members of the Vogelwerkgroep Bemelen. Thanks to this expertise, old tools such as klamatsch and picker could also be remade. If you look closely, you will see vertical sticks of (pruning) wood on both sides of the existing hedge. These are connected horizontally with 'binders' (long thicker sticks). All of this is pulled together. Together with the existing hedge, this becomes a barrier that no sheep or chicken can get through. Braided hedges, hedgerows and wooded banks are very important for the quality of the landscape and nature. The Tuynheggen are therefore real cultural heritage. Birds such as willow warbler, yellowhammer and wren use the hedge to shelter and build nests in. Native plants, including bittersweet, also grow there. The classic Tuynheg here was created in 2002. The maintenance, gardens or tuunge is on the programme of the Bemelen Bird Working Group every spring. In this way, the knowledge of the craft is preserved. More information or help?
