Hiking

It was a Frenchman, originally from Paris, Jacques-Aubin Dolbeau, who first noticed the white rocks on the Sambre and later transformed them into a stone quarry during the heyday of the metal industry in and around Charleroi. This is an old part of the quarry that has now been included in the KBF list of rock massifs that can be climbed provided you are affiliated with the association. Behind this wall is the original quarry that is still being exploited since 1821.
