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 bes een.
Details:
The caves have a temperature of about 11 degrees all year round. Keep this in mind with regard to you clothes and put on sturdy shoes! The caves are basically accessible to everyone. However, the walk from the meeting point the entrance is a difficult climb.
