Perfect place to visit on a hot day! Our guide was really great too. The right mix of information and jokes. Definitely worth a visit!
The mines themselves are quite interesting from a historical perspective, and the continued use for mushroom cultivation. There's even a small chapel back in the part we visited. Some unique 'cave paintings' of various dinosaurs in the 'museum'. There are very cool carvings in the walls along the way.

Fairly accessible for those with lower mobility. We saw someone with a walker, but not sure how well a wheelchair could maneuver some of the exhibits. Although I think it might be doable...
Read moreThe Grotten van Kanne tour was amazing and very detailed. Our wonderful guide Ger led us through the massive caves and educated us on the process, reasoning, and scale of constructing the caves, as well as the deep history within.

You can buy mushrooms (Champignon) there as well. During the tour there is also a beer tasting with a custom made beer for the cave (Mosasaurus) which was delicious and light. You can also buy additional beer during the tour. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area or...

The temperature inside the cave is always between 10 and 12 degrees, so make sure to bring a jacket if you go...
