Cave of Remouchamps

It is a treasure of nature, hidden in the province of Liège. Discovered in 1828, the cave was carved into the limestone over a million years ago by the underground Rubicon River. First, it formed the upper gallery (visited on foot), and then created the lower gallery, where it flows to this day. In the first part, visitors follow a route about a kilometer long, full of huge stalagmites and stalactites. At the end they reach a forty-meter-high room called the cathedral, discovered in 1912.

The second stage of the tour takes place in a boat, in the lower part of the cave. Visitors travel along the longest underground river in Belgium. It is also the longest underground river route open to tourists in the world. At this point the Rubicon River is about 700 meters long. In this part, the boat's helmsman is also the guide. It tells the history of the Remouchamps cave, points out interesting stalagmites and stalactites, and places that are the only ones not carved out by the river. Here, to ensure the passage of boats, human intervention was necessary. The Remouchamps cave was used for some time as a wine storage facility. During World War II it provided shelter for local residents.
