Geulhemmergroeve, Limestone quarry in Geulhem, Netherlands
The Geulhemmergroeve extends through 20 kilometers of underground tunnels, formed by centuries of limestone extraction in the Valkenburg region.
During the French Revolution in 1794, the quarry provided shelter to priests who refused to take an oath of allegiance to the occupying forces.
The Orange Gallery, created in 1907, contains charcoal murals and medallions depicting Dutch royal family members throughout the underground passages.
Guided tours for groups up to 15 people cost 45 euros, with an additional charge of 3 euros per extra person.
The quarry walls reveal the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary in the Meerssen Limestone, marking the transition between two major geological periods.
