Hiking
In 1954, extraction was stopped due to the poor quality of the marl.
In 1971, Werner Felder and Peter Bosch discovered a small prehistoric flint industry in the slope between the Koeberg quarry and the Juliana quarry. Part of the slope was then excavated to make room for a narrow-gauge railway.
In 2011, the quarry became a nature reserve and owned by Het Limburgs Landschap.
