Rochers de Marche-les-Dames
Rochers de Marche-les-Dames, Rock climbing site in Namur, Belgium
The Rochers de Marche-les-Dames extends for 2.3 kilometers along the Meuse River, featuring 23 limestone formations reaching heights of up to 80 meters.
King Albert I of Belgium died at these rocks on February 17, 1934, during a solitary climbing expedition, leading to the establishment of a memorial.
The rock formation serves as a training ground for Belgian para-commandos and contains multiple climbing routes frequented by the Belgian Alpine Club members.
Access to certain sections requires Belgian citizenship, club membership, and proper identification, with military camp areas only open during weekends.
The rock faces contain 526 identified climbing routes and support diverse wildlife, including black woodpeckers, stock doves, and various cave-dwelling birds.
