Top 20 Caves 난드린 주변

이 트루 망토에 대한 최초의 설명은 1833년으로 거슬러 올라갑니다. 이 이름은 테베의 티레시아스의 딸인 예언자 망토를 가리키는데, 그녀의 고향 도시가 에피고니에게 정복된 후 델포이로 보내졌습니다. 거기서 그녀는 소아시아로 여행하여 크레타인 라키우스와 결혼했고, 그와 함께 몹수스를 낳았으며, 클라로스에 아폴로 신전을 세웠습니다. 전설에 따르면 그녀는 이탈리아에서 마지막 날을 보냈다고 합니다. 이 동굴과 고대 그리스의 전설 사이의 연관성은 불분명합니다. 이것은 화석 동굴입니다. 1964년에 인접한 '생 에티엔 동굴'로 이어지는 좁은 통로가 만들어졌습니다. 이 교차점은 동굴 탐험가들에게 "탄생"이라고 불립니다. 10m 깊이의 수직 갱도와 함께 이곳은 동굴에서 가장 어려운 구간입니다. 이 동굴은 대중에게 공개되지 않으며 관광을 위해 개발된 적이 없습니다. 벨기에 동굴 탐험 연맹의 회원 카드와 열쇠가 있어야만 석회암 통로에 접근할 수 있습니다. 장소를 보호하기 위해 입구를 자물쇠가 달린 거대한 문으로 막기로 결정했습니다. 그러나 1970년부터 정기적으로 박쥐가 겨울잠을 자는 것이 관찰되었기 때문에, 1990년에야 두 동굴의 입구가 그들의 출입을 용이하게 하기 위해 보호되었습니다. NATAGORA의 이 작은 포유류에 대한 관찰은 지역적으로 심각한 멸종 위기에 처한 여러 종, 예를 들어 작은 말굽박쥐와 톱니발굽박쥐를 식별하는 데 도움이 되었습니다. 위 성당의 4대 보이스카우트 부대의 선구자인 빈센트 푸아티에와 스카우트 지도자 장 루이 쿠벨리에가 동굴 시스템 여러 곳을 방문하는 것을 조직했습니다. 일부는 트루 망토 동굴을 통해 들어갔고, 더 모험적인 다른 사람들은 생 에티엔 동굴을 통해 직접 들어갔습니다. 출처: wikihuy.be

Beautiful rock formations at Les Awirs with caves and climbing rocks

Located in the Solières valley near Huy, the Trou Manto cave is a limestone cave with a complex network of tunnels. Access is via a steep path supported by a rope. The cave has three levels with magnificent stalactites, a sloping floor with collapses, and twelve large columns supporting the vaults. The entire structure is an impressive karst phenomenon, approximately 600 meters long and 48 meters deep. The cave is protected and fenced off due to vandalism and to protect bats; visits are only possible with a guide or a caving association. The cave is known for its diverse hydrological phenomena and the legend of the Nutons, gnome-like helper beings from folklore. This combination of nature, history, and mythology makes Trou Manto a special place.

A collection of four caves, two of which are closed off as bat roosts. A steep climb or descent over a rocky path is definitely worth it.

The complex originally consisted of four caves, some of which have now disappeared due to natural collapse and the proximity of quarries. The caves have been protected as cultural heritage in Wallonia since 1978 and have an exceptional status due to their scientific value. Although the caves themselves are currently not open to the public, the site remains an important archaeological and natural history location that visualizes the evolution of humanity.

A magnificent hiking trail, but not to be underestimated. Along the hillside, you'll walk through rock formations, some of which you'll have to crawl through, and past viewpoints overlooking the Ourthe Valley. Some caves are accessible, but only after a short, steep climb. Be careful.

This is a cave I used to visit a long time ago. Before, you could start at the very bottom and work your way up to the top of the quarry. Now, I don't think that's possible anymore.

Although the caves are no longer accessible, they are worth the detour for their unexpected beauty. The red earth blends perfectly with the gray of the rock walls and the green of its abundant ivy. There were originally four caves on this site. The first disappeared due to limestone mining between 1890 and 1900. Exploring the Cockerill quarry massif, Philippe-Charles Schmerling discovered four caves on the site called Trô Cwaheur (= cut, tear). In the second cave, he unearthed two human skulls in 1829, one said to be Cro-Magnon and the second a Neanderthal child. The bones were associated with extinct fauna and presented the same state of preservation. At a time when biblical theory still prevailed, he began to prove the appearance of humans on earth more than 4,000 years ago. But, misunderstood, it would be necessary to wait for the discoveries made in the Neander Valley, in Germany, to see his thesis confirmed. It was a close call for "Neanderthal man" to be called "Awirs man". The site belongs to the Société Carmeuse and has been classified since 1978. The ditch that can be seen on the site is due to a subsidence of the ground following the exploitation of alum. Alum was exploited in this place from 1580 until the middle of the 18th century (around 1740).
