Caves of Han-sur-Lesse, Show cave in Han-sur-Lesse, Belgium.
The cave system extends over 14,248 meters of underground galleries, making it the longest network of connected caves in Belgium.
The Lesse River created this limestone cave system through erosion, requiring between 2 to 28 hours to traverse its 1,100-meter underground path.
The cave maintains traditional guided tours through multiple chambers, including the Arms Room and the Dome Room, with 508 steps along the path.
The cave temperature remains at 10.5 degrees Celsius throughout the year, requiring visitors to bring appropriate clothing for the two-kilometer guided walk.
In 2009, the traditional boat exit was replaced with footbridges, enabling year-round access regardless of water levels and improved accessibility.

Belgium preserves numerous historical sites and natural areas that remain outside the usual tourist circuits. The country contains medieval fortifications, castles from various periods, and protected areas that provide insight into its military and cultural past. The Hallerbos forest transforms into a blue carpet of Atlantic bluebells each spring. Fort Eben-Emael, once considered impregnable, documents 20th-century military architecture. The prehistoric flint mines of Spiennes, a UNESCO World Heritage site, testify to 6,000 years of mining history. These locations combine natural heritage with historical evidence and offer visitors the opportunity to discover lesser-known aspects of Belgium.
