De Groeve aan de Heide ("On the Heath Quarry") is a marl quarry in the Dutch municipality of Valkenburg aan de Geul in South Limburg. The underground quarry is located southeast of Valkenburg in the southern part of the Biebosch slope forest on the northeastern edge of the Margraten Plateau in the transition to the Geuldal. At the site, the plateau plunges steeply for a few meters, the quarry itself is located in a corner of a meadow near a sunken road (IJzeren Koeweg) that is cut into the plateau from the Sibbergrubbe.
The Heiberg quarry is located approximately 50 meters to the northwest and the Groeve in de Grindkuil is located approximately 100 meters to the southeast.
From the 17th to the 19th century, the quarry was mined by block crushers for the extraction of limestone.
De Groeve aan de Heide has a low entrance, behind which is a large hall with a corridor of approximately 40 meters. The quarry has an area of approximately 374 square meters with a corridor length of approximately 65 meters.
The entrance to the quarry is closed, so that bats can use the quarry as a roost.
