Small cave with bat passage..

Bats hibernate from early November to the end of March. Please leave the animals alone during these five months. Thank you.

Bats 🦇 are allowed to fly in and out

The site of the former Plombières mine is home to species-rich calcareous grassland meadows, now protected as a nature reserve. The exceptional flora and fauna of this area are due to the heavy metal-rich soils, particularly the presence of zinc in the subsurface. Among the natural meadow relics, visible traces of the former metal industry can still be found: – Walls from former foundry floors – Remains of old smelting furnaces – Stones from former industrial buildings A small stream meandering through the area further enriches the ecological diversity of this special place. The "Gueule" viewpoint, which offers a glimpse into a cave opening, is particularly impressive and worth a visit.

Hardly anything can be seen here.

No lime kiln, but an underground cave created to divert the Geul and thus prevent it from flowing into the mine shafts.

Today it is best known for its flora (zinc-rich soil) and the underground passage or "cave" where the Geule "disappears" for a moment and which was artificially constructed because too much water from the Geule flowed into the mine tunnels and they were therefore temporarily moved.

The underground passage or "cave" where the Geule "disappears" herein is not natural but artificially constructed. It was dug for the relocation of the Geul because too much water flowed from the river into the mine galleries. The original bed of the river still exists in the form of the lake a little further on. By shifting the river, the water could be discharged at high water levels. It all looks quite impressive and the sound of the water is also worth it. Also take a walk from the viewing platform to the wall where you see a water gate that was used for the laundries and turbines of the mines.
