I liked that the tour guide explained everything in Dutch and English, abd that made it easier to understand the facts and History of the guided walk.

We had Peter as our guide and he was fantastic! We were a group that spoke English and he happily abliged and did a wonderful job. He was very entertaining and knowledgable! Great experience being in the caves and will definitely be back to see the Christmas market.

Full description

The guide will lead you into an underground world where you will get fascinated by everything the Municipal Cave has to offer. Apart from the tour on foot, we also have a train that drives you around. Both of these tours are very special and show you the hidden gems of the cave.

The guide will tell you about the stone which was formed around 100 million years ago (in the era of the dinosaurs) and it has been quarried for nearly 2000 years. You will be listening to the stories about the stonemasons, who worked here for many years to create a cave with a distance of about 70 km. But he will also tell you about the more recent times.

The cave is accessible for disabled people.

The tour starts at the Cauberg 4 where the tour guide or train driver will pick you up. This location also provides a toilet and next door there is a little pub.
