Aiguilles de Chaleux, Limestone rock formation in Houyet, Belgium.
The Aiguilles de Chaleux present pearl to dark grey limestone masses rising along the Lesse river, forming natural stone columns and vertical walls.
The geological formations at Aiguilles de Chaleux emerged through millions of years of natural erosion, shaping the current landscape of the Walloon region.
Local communities maintain strong connections to these rock formations, which received recognition as an Exceptional Heritage Property of Wallonia for natural characteristics.
Visitors can access designated paths to observe the rock formations, while certain sections remain restricted for safety, including the area known as La Chandelle.
The limestone cliffs contain multiple shades from pearl to black, creating distinct patterns that demonstrate the geological processes of the region.
