A landscape shaped by people, reclaimed by nature
Near the centre of Maastricht lies the ENCI quarry: a rugged, impressive landscape full of contrasts. What was once a bustling limestone quarry is now a place where nature shows its strength. Steep marl walls, crystal clear water, limestone grass slopes and hidden valleys make this former industrial site a unique nature reserve. On this exclusive excursion, you will take a look at this enclosed area with a guide from Natuurmonumenten.

Walking on the boundary between the past and nature
Accompanied by an experienced guide, you’ll walk through the heart of the quarry. You’ll learn how marl was formed here millions of years ago, how layers of flint were created and what has been extracted from the limestone bed. You’ll see for yourself how limestone quarrying has given way to new nature – a landscape that is recovering with the help of both people and nature itself.

Book your tickets now and experience how nature takes back its place in a landscape once shaped by human hands. A unique opportunity to discover the raw and restorative face of Mount Saint Peter.
