    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

      A work of art was installed on the crater of the slag heap, These are storm pools.
      During walks, we can observe it and it is then an immense dragonfly which
      reveals, it is around 80 meters long, its body is made up
      of stones and its outstretched wings are converted into bodies of water suitable for
      the laying of natterjack toads (Bufo calamita).
