Duivelsgrot

The Duivelsgrot features a trapezoidal entrance with a round window set against white limestone cliffs, leading to extensive underground corridors and passages.

During the 17th century, workers excavated this quarry by hand, creating an intricate network of tunnels that later served as storage spaces and animal shelters.

The entrance's skull-like appearance at dusk influenced local residents to name it Devil's Cave, reflecting the community's tendency to associate natural formations with folklore.

Located 400 meters north of Kanne cemetery, the quarry maintains unrestricted access and requires no entrance fee, though visitors should bring lighting equipment.

The quarry's position near the Belgian border demonstrates how the limestone mining network extends beyond national boundaries, creating a cross-border geological heritage.
