🇳🇱 The Dark Side of Maastricht: Underground Adventures
🕯️ Where history hides in pitch-black tunnels... Two Must-Do Underground Tours 🔦 North Cave Tour • Explore 80km of limestone tunnels (former quarries) • See WWII hideouts & 18th-century charcoal drawings • Only light? Two lanterns per group (get lost = true darkness!) • Guide’s joke: “If you wander off, you might end up in Germany!” 🏰 Fort St. Pieter Tour • Climb this 1702 fortress with secret passages • Panoramic views of three countries (NL/BE/DE) • Playful guides roast French tourists (historically accurate banter!) ⚠️ Warning: Not for claustrophobes! Some passages are narrower than a coffin. Above Ground? Do This ⛪ Heavenly Sights: • Dominicanen Bookstore (13th-century church-turned-shop) 📚✨ • Basilica of St. Servatius (Dutch oldest church, €5 entry) • Hell’s Gate (cool photo, 2-min visit max) #DarkTourism #CaveExploring #NetherlandsAdventures
