Domain of the caves of Han

The Domain spans over 250 hectares, featuring an intricate network of underground chambers with limestone formations carved by the Lesse River throughout millennia.

The cave complex, first explored in 1771, contains archaeological findings from the Stone Age and Bronze Age, indicating human presence dating back to the 5th century BC.

Regular scientific expeditions at the Domain contribute to speleological research while educational programs teach visitors about geology and environmental conservation methods.

The underground temperature remains constant at 13°C, requiring visitors to wear warm clothing and suitable footwear for the 90-minute guided tours through wet terrain.

A vintage tram transports visitors to the cave entrance, where they witness a sound and light display followed by a cannon shot demonstrating the cave's acoustic properties.
