    Hiking

    The Terril du Gosson is located near the center of Liège, in the municipality of St-Nicolas. It is a nature reserve consisting of 9,500 thousand cubic meters of waste from industrial activity. One of the attractions on the grounds is a giant dragonfly, which is actually an art installation that serves as a storm basin. The body of the insect consists of 80m long embankments and its wings are water features
