Top 6 Caves ケルミスでの

Bats hibernate from early November to the end of March. Please leave the animals alone during these five months. Thank you.

Yes, unfortunately, there are collectors who steal the metal information board. And the municipality of Kelmis doesn't have the money for permanent replacements. Is it okay to request donations for this here? AP: Commune Kelmis / La Calamine, Subject: New sign for the Auberg mine. Maybe it worked?! With your support. Thank you very much.

The site of the former Plombières mine is home to species-rich calcareous grassland meadows, now protected as a nature reserve. The exceptional flora and fauna of this area are due to the heavy metal-rich soils, particularly the presence of zinc in the subsurface. Among the natural meadow relics, visible traces of the former metal industry can still be found: – Walls from former foundry floors – Remains of old smelting furnaces – Stones from former industrial buildings A small stream meandering through the area further enriches the ecological diversity of this special place. The "Gueule" viewpoint, which offers a glimpse into a cave opening, is particularly impressive and worth a visit.

Numerous old gates leading through the meadows, sometimes with cows... Sometimes you can't get through with a 'thick' hiking backpack...

The tunnel entrance could only be viewed from a distance from the footbridge across the Hohnbach.

Hardly anything can be seen here.

No lime kiln, but an underground cave created to divert the Geul and thus prevent it from flowing into the mine shafts.

Today it is best known for its flora (zinc-rich soil) and the underground passage or "cave" where the Geule "disappears" for a moment and which was artificially constructed because too much water from the Geule flowed into the mine tunnels and they were therefore temporarily moved.
