マースメヘレンの峡谷・トップ6

洞窟の美しい眺め。

Along the rippling Geul River, an impressive marlstone wall rises, a silent witness to Limburg's underground landscape. These calcareous rocks were used for centuries for construction and crafts and now offer a fascinating sight for hikers and nature lovers. The wall forms a natural boundary along the water and, in some places, harbors small caves and niches where flora and fauna have found a home. The contrast of the white marl against the green foliage and the glistening water of the Geul makes this a particularly photogenic and tranquil spot during your walk.

In today's heat, the goats had fled to the shade of the pit.

When the path that has been running between slopes and sloping forest on one side and the Geul on the other side suddenly starts to rise a bit, you know what is coming: part of the marl crops out and offers you a glimpse of what you can discover if you take one of the paths away from the Geul: quarries and marl.

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.
