Montagne de Bueren, Monumental staircase in Féronstrée et Hors-Château, Liège, Belgium.
The 374 steps of this steep staircase ascend at a 30-degree angle through the center of Liège, connecting downtown to the former citadel.
The staircase, constructed in 1881, commemorates Vincent de Bueren and 600 soldiers who attempted to capture Charles the Bold in 1468.
During the annual October event Nocturne des Coteaux de la Citadelle, 3000 candles illuminate the steps, creating a special nighttime display.
Visitors can take regular breaks on benches along the climb, which extends 260 meters and provides expanding views of the city.
Belgian explorer Louis-Philippe Loncke climbed these stairs 135 times with a 15-kilogram backpack in 2020, equal to scaling Mount Everest.
