Sibbergroeve, Underground limestone quarry in Sibbe, Netherlands.
The Sibbergroeve quarry features a complex network of tunnels stretching over 90 kilometers through limestone formations beneath the Dutch countryside.
Since medieval times, workers extracted marl and limestone from Sibbergroeve, providing construction materials for buildings throughout the Limburg region.
Local mining traditions remain preserved through guided tours where visitors learn about extraction techniques and geological processes from experienced guides.
The quarry maintains regular opening hours for guided tours, with temperature remaining constant at 12 degrees Celsius throughout the underground system.
The extensive tunnel system creates specific conditions that support specialized flora and fauna adapted to the underground limestone environment.
