When we think of mining, we often think of underground tunnels. However, there was another method of ore extraction in our region: open-pit mining. Very close to Fond-de-Gras lies one of these former open-pit mines, commonly known as “Giele Botter”. Our experienced guide will introduce you to this vast area, which has been transformed into a nature reserve.
The geology, history, and impact of human activity make this reserve a UNESCO World Heritage Site not to be missed. The nature walk offers many interesting discoveries, including different biotopes and related conservation efforts.
