Grotte La Merveilleuse
A limestone cave on the outskirts of Dinant, famous for its gleaming white stalactites, flowstone curtains and underground waterfall. The guided tour takes about 50 minutes, and it is a cave you can see without traveling far.
The cave was discovered in 1904 during railway construction. Its stalactites, stalagmites and calcite waterfalls are an unusually bright white, and several underground pools reflect the lights beautifully. Visits are by guided tour only. The tour takes about 50 minutes and includes many steps. The cave stays at about 12°C year-round, so bring a jacket even in summer. Admission costs about €10. The entrance is on the left bank of the Meuse, about 600 meters south of Dinant railway station and about a 15-minute walk from the town center. It can be combined with Rocher Bayard on the same route.
