Rochers de Freÿr

Rochers de Freÿr is a limestone cliff formation along the Meuse River near Anseremme, with vertical walls reaching up to 120 meters and varying angles. These rock faces rise sharply from the river valley and form a striking natural landmark.

The rock formation developed through geological processes and gained protection status during the 20th century to preserve its natural importance. It became part of Europe's Natura 2000 conservation program to safeguard its distinctive ecosystems.

The name draws from Germanic mythology, linking local stories to the Norse god Freyr. These cliffs shape how people see the Meuse landscape and serve as a backdrop for regional tales passed down through generations.

The site is reachable via the N95 road between Namur and Dinant, with two viewpoints that offer outlooks across the surrounding area. It helps to arrive early in the day to avoid crowds and enjoy the clearest views.

The cliff wall attracts climbers from around the world who use over 600 different climbing routes, many of which descend straight into the river waters below. This variety of routes makes it a global draw for the sport.
