Discover the fascinating story of Sint-Pietersberg (Mount Saint peter) on a unique excursion. The mountain's limestone rock formed millions of years ago in a shallow tropical sea, during the time of the dinosaurs. Thanks to ENCI's excavations, a wealth of geological information and impressive fossils, such as the Mosasaurus, have become visible.
Together with expert guides, you will travel through time and learn how the rocks give us insight into Earth's history.
