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.

There are old flint quarries in this area: the “Carrières de silex du Thier des Vignes”.

Beautiful part of the walk along the Geul

A mysterious flint cave on the edge of the Albert Canal, near the locks at Klein Ternaaien. You reach the entrance via a steep path through the woods. The caves are dark, cool, and full of atmosphere—perfect for those who love hidden natural spaces. Bring a flashlight and good walking shoes!

In the mid-19th century, flooding from the Göhl River posed a major threat to the mine in Bleyberg/Plombières: Water repeatedly penetrated the tunnels and claimed lives. To prevent this, a diversion of part of the river was requested and approved in 1861. By 1862, a tunnel several hundred meters long was built beneath the rock, keeping the Göhl away from the mine. The construction cost approximately 200,000 francs. The tunnel is a technical monument to mining engineering from an era when hazards were deliberately controlled while simultaneously harnessing hydropower. It demonstrates how work-related accidents were prevented while simultaneously harnessing resources.

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.

Impressive, you can see some caves.
