Géologicum du Broackay | Moulin du Broukay
The Broukay Geologium shows the human, archaeological, geological and industrial history of this part of the Jekerdal.
The Broukay Geologium includes a tourist walk through the geological history in the area around the Broukay Mill. Along the industrial exploitation of flint and marl (limestone), highlighting the flora and fauna of neighbouring sites and a visit to the Flint Museum in the Tower of Eben-Ezer. In 1934, mining of flint and marl in the Cretaceous formations in the hamlet of de Broukay and its surroundings (the Krokay Thier and the Pach-Lowe) began.
The walk begins with a visit to the Pach-Lowe site, where flint mining first took place in an open-air quarry and later underground. There you enter an old flint mine, where 25 workers once worked and where, among the sometimes surprising shapes of the flint benches, the miners' working conditions come back to life.
