Grotte de l'Abîme, Limestone cave in Comblain-au-Pont, Belgium.
The Grotte de l'Abîme extends 807 meters through limestone formations, featuring numerous stalactites, stalagmites, and mineral deposits throughout its passages.
The cave's discovery occurred in 1900 when a local girl's dog fell into an opening, leading to its exploration by renowned cavers Ernest Van den Broeck and E.A. Martel in 1902.
The site functions as an educational center where students and researchers study geological processes and cave formation through specialized guided programs.
Visitors must descend 640 steps during the 75-minute guided tour, with the cave maintaining a constant temperature of 10 degrees Celsius throughout the year.
The cave's entrance chamber features a 22-meter vertical shaft that gives the site its name, as 'Abîme' translates to abyss in English.
