About This Attraction

Maastricht Netherlands

The St. Pietersberg Caves in Maastricht are a fascinating network of tunnels and passageways with a history dating back to Roman times. These caves were initially created through the mining of marl, a type of limestone that was used in building materials. Today, guided tours offer visitors the chance to learn about the caves unique history and geology. Its important to note that temperatures inside the caves remain around 11 degrees Celsius year-round, so bringing a jacket is advisable.

For those interested in visiting, there are several ways to access the caves, including tours led by knowledgeable guides who provide St. Pietersberg Caves travel information. Tours typically last about an hour and cover a distance of approximately two kilometers underground. The caves are located near Fort St. Pieter, making it easy to explore both attractions in one visit. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes as the ground can be uneven in places.
