Here you will find the entrance to the tunnel system called the Grootberg, which is part of the underground marl quarry the Avergat. The quarry was used as a garage in the 20th century, which was not conducive to the site. Yet it remains an important quarry and a piece of heritage with, despite all use, a beautiful and special entrance and surrounding landscape. The grooves are also important wintering places for bats. The Grootberg is also known for its war past.
