After a heated trip, a visit to these cool caves is ideal!
Marl, a sedimentary rock, was mined here. Mining in Kanne started before the 15th century. The villagers used the stones to build local churches and castles.
Do you want to know how the craftsmen took such a block from the quarry? In the exhibition you can learn more about quarry tools. There are also murals of prehistoric animals on the walls of the corridor. You will also learn why mushrooms grow so well in the underground mushroom farm and how the brewers store their cave beer here.

Hiking
The Caves of Kanne form a network of corridors of 16 kilometers due to the long underground mining of marl in these parts. Today, the Caves of Kanne are still used, among other things, for the preparation of batter, the storage of agricultural products and for the cultivation of mushrooms (with one grower). There are fixed guided tours on Saturdays and Sundays, but special arrangements for groups are also possible. More info at grottenvankannevzw.be
