    The anticline of Durbuy  is known as the Omalius rock, but also under the name “Falize” rock. Anticlinal is the geological name for this rock with an inverted U shape. The anticline is more than 300 million years old! The highest point of the city is located above this impressive rock.

      Known as Roche à la Falize, Homalius Rock is shaped like an inverted "U". This rock form is called an anticline. It is more than 300 million years old. Its summit is the highest point in Durbuy. A charming promenade near the historic old town runs along it.

        This impressive geological formation consists of a succession of dolomitic limestone layers that were pushed up by earthquakes of the earth's crust.
        Quite impressive. A location to take a photo.
