Hiking
The Marchempré quarry, west of Sclayn, is abandoned... but only recently. In 2020, the Lhoist group even stepped up limestone and dolomite extraction here, but meanwhile all activities have been stopped and the site was transferred to the municipality of Andenne in May 2024. This was quite a complicated affair. The agreement was preceded by long negotiations between the municipality and Lhoist, as well as protests and legal proceedings from nearby residents.
