Cave of Lorette-Rochefort, Limestone cave in Rochefort, Belgium.
The cave of Lorette-Rochefort is a limestone system beneath Rochefort with vertical passages and multiple chambers throughout its interior. Natural stone formations become visible as visitors move through the different levels and sections.
A person named Alphonse Collignon first found the system in 1865. A renowned cave explorer later visited the passages and documented the structure thoroughly.
The name reflects the location between two significant local landmarks, connecting the cave to its surrounding geography. This connection shows how the place sits within the natural and human landscape of the region.
Visitors should know that it is cool underground, so warm clothing is advisable. The passages have varying difficulty levels, and some areas require careful steps on uneven ground.
In the Sabbath Room, one of the largest chambers, a small hot air balloon is launched to show the ceiling height. This unusual experience demonstrates the scale of the space in a creative and memorable way.
