Mining. It was really something in Limburg. It all began in 1901 when André Dumont discovered coal in our region. Men came over from all corners to work as miners: from Poland, Italy, Spain, Turkey... In short, from everywhere. And of course, they brought their families with them. And their delicious cuisine!
