Watch a film in a subterranean cinema designed to look like a mine! Learn about the mining industry thanks to a film from the mid-1960s, then join your Dutch speaking guide for an underground adventure at south Limburg's Steenkolenmijn.
All guides at Steenkolenmijn (aka the Coal Mine Valkenburg) are former mine workers, were raised in mining families, or have some other kind of connection with the mining world, and they have some pretty exciting stories to tell!
Let your host take you back in time and even show you how their special machines were used to extract coal.

Hoensbroek Castle
One of the oldest (and biggest) castles in all of the Netherlands, Hoensbroek Castle is a stronghold of Dutch cultural history located in the pastoral province of Limburg. Over the centuries it's been home to knights, barons, royals, and poets, and was also used as a shelter for orphans after World War II.
Given its age, the castle has also seen its fair share of architectural redesigning over the years, and is now a patchwork of historical styles, with an ancient watchtower its last remaining original feature. It is surrounded by a large dramatic moat, which may or may not contain the mythical Hoensbroek Monster.
