Terra Nova is the main visitor center of the Citadel of Namur and is the ideal starting point for discovering the history of this impressive fortress. Through models, audiovisual presentations, and interactive displays, you'll gain a clear overview of the strategic role the citadel played for centuries in defending the city and the Meuse Valley. From Terra Nova, you can also descend into the citadel's underground passages. These tunnels were part of the defense system and served for the movement of soldiers, storage, and protection during sieges. The cool, long passages offer a compelling glimpse into military life and are a fascinating addition to the visible heritage above ground. Today, Terra Nova combines heritage, education, and immersion, making it an essential stop to truly understand the scale, complexity, and history of the Citadel of Namur.

The visitor route in the Han-sur-Lesse caves leads through impressive halls and passageways. Highlights include the Salle du Dôme, a vast domed hall, and the Salle d’Armes, where a light and sound show takes place. Along the way, visitors can admire numerous dripstone formations such as stalactites, stalagmites, and limestone columns. In some places, the underground course of the Lesse River is also directly visible.

The tramway operates on a one-meter gauge track. Originally, steam locomotives were used, but from around 1934 diesel trams were introduced and are still in use today. The tramway serves tourist purposes and connects the village center of Han-sur-Lesse with the cave entrance, providing visitors with convenient access to the stalactite cave. The route is currently about 3.1 kilometers long.

This large cavity extends deep into the limestone rock (beautiful layering). Former outlet of the Lomme River, today about ten meters above the riverbed. A stunning resurgence that brings an underground river back to the surface.

The Arville Cave is located near Arville Castle in Faulx-les-Tombes and consists of several smaller cavities collectively known as the "Arville Caves." The most famous cavity is the actual Arville Cave (also known as the Trou du Chantoir), which is located on the northern slope of a paleokarst depression. This depression has a nearly permanent pond at its bottom, the water level of which varies with the seasons. The caves are not open to the public or tourists. They are primarily an interesting karst area for geological and local nature walks.
