Top 12 Caves 통게렌 주변

Cannerberg에 있는 터널 시스템을 갖춘 Cannerberggroeve는 여러 입구가 있습니다. 이 입구들로부터 중세 후기부터 석회암이 채굴되었습니다. 터널 시스템의 상당히 깊은 곳 어딘가에서 16세기 비문들을 발견할 수 있습니다. 가장 오래된 것으로 알려진 것은 1511년까지 거슬러 올라가는데, 이는 15세기에 이미 채석장 개발이 시작되었어야 함을 의미합니다.

18세기 후반에 장식적인 요소로 조성된 이 동굴은 실제 동굴이 아니라 미네르바 신전 및 다른 'Follies'와 마찬가지로 이 장소의 낭만적인 정원 건축에 속하며 공원 산책객들에게 전망과 휴식처 역할을 했습니다.

The Grootberg is an underground marl quarry formed by the extraction of limestone, locally called marl. Marl consists almost entirely of fossil fragments of marine animals and was deposited approximately 66 million years ago in a shallow tropical sea during the Cretaceous geological period.

The Great Grotto, located at the foot of the hill near Albertusplein, is a special place with both religious and historical significance. This artificial grotto was created in the late 19th century and is a replica of the grotto at Lourdes. It is a quiet place that invites contemplation, surrounded by greenery and featuring a statue of the Virgin Mary and candle holders. For many visitors, it is a place of peace and prayer, but even those who are not religious can appreciate the atmosphere and craftsmanship. The rock structure is impressive and well-maintained. Benches are located around the grotto for relaxing, and it is a frequent stop during walks near the hill or the canal.

The marl caves of Heers are an important hibernation site for numerous bats, including the Bechstein's bat, the Notched Bat, and the Pond Bat. Bat-friendly barriers were installed at the entrances to the caves. In 2014, the Waterkuil was closed off with a steel gate, in which bat silhouettes serve as flight openings. This elegant barrier was designed by Heers artist Frans Vandueren. Initial winter counts already showed that the gate is having an effect.

The Lourdes grotto was built in 1946 during the celebration of the village's centennial. A prayer vigil is still held at the grotto every Thursday in May.
