The quarry het Paradijsbergske III ("Little Paradise Mountain III quarry") is a marl quarry in the Dutch municipality of Valkenburg aan de Geul in South Limburg. The underground quarry is located east of Geulhem in the Bergse Heide slope forest on the northern edge of the Margraten Plateau in the transition to the Geuldal. At the site, the plateau plunges steeply for several meters.
About 45 and 60 meters to the east are the Groeve het Paradijsbergske IIa and Groeve het Paradijsbergske II, and about 60 meters to the west is the Heide quarry.
In the late Middle Ages until the 19th century, the quarry was mined by block breakers.
The quarry Het Paradijsbergske III consists of a U-shaped corridor. The quarry has an area of 136.35 square meters.
The entrance to the quarry is closed, so that bats can use the quarry as a roost.
The manager of the quarry is Het Limburgs Landschap. In 2017, the quarry was assessed for safety and approved.
