The caves were very impressive. We were early, so we first had a drink at the café. Inside the tunnels it was really nice and cool. They aren't actually caves but a tunnel system where they quarried for limestone (only 80km of the original 250km are left). The owners decided that it would also serve as a great day out and had artists make drawings in charcoal and chalk all over the place. And during the second world war the tunnels were also used to smuggle jews to Belgium. It's certainly worth a visit if you're around Maastricht. There's also a fort nearby and next time we'll go do that tour.
I'll upload the pictures to my blog tomorrow and link it in this thread.
