What To Expect

In a labyrinth that once comprised more than 20,000 corridors, an experienced guide takes you underground to see the names and drawings of people who worked here every day a few hundred years ago. Did you know that with a capacity of 50,000 people,, the expansice cave network was able to provide shelter for many of Maastricht’s residents during the Second World War. An evacuation area with electric lighting, a public address system, a bakery, toilets, chapels, a small hospital, water pumps, and many more facilities were all constructed underground, though never put into full use. Remnants of them can still be seen.

I went to the Caves of Zonneberg in Maastricht and took a tour there. It was really great fun! The stories were very interesting and the drawings on the walls are beautiful to see. Our guide, Harrold, told everything in such a lively and enthusiastic way that you were taken all the way into the history of the cave. The tour was fun, educational and very impressive. I really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend this tour!
