Typical location Sand of Waterfall (Geological monument)

Highlight • Natural Monument

This abandoned quarry, the Quarry of Waterval, is the type locality of the Zand van Waterval, a sand layer that was deposited millions of years ago. This layer of sand still protrudes into this quarry, and can be seen at the top of the slope (further down the layer of sand is covered by erosional material).

Marl Wall Along Footpath from Waterval to Raar

Highlight • Monument

Along the footpath that runs from Waterval to Raar, a striking natural feature immediately catches your eye: a marlstone wall that stands as a silent witness along the path. Marl, a calcareous clay characteristic of South Limburg, tells the story of a landscape shaped by millions of years of geological processes.

The wall offers a beautiful contrast with the surrounding greenery and the winding paths. The soft hues of the marl vary from white to light yellow and brown, creating a particularly photogenic backdrop for your walk. Sometimes you can see traces of small erosion patterns or fossils that recall the rich history of this area.
