Tuesday - Dig deep into history in S.Peter caves

Space for a suggestion from my good friend Alessandra today.

The caves of S.Peter near Maastricht are the results of centuries of mining for a stone called marl which apparently is used for soil neutralization.

The digging activities have left behind a maze of around 20.000 tunnels, many of them decorated with pictures and drawings from local artists.

Guided tours are available.
