Anticline of Durbuy, Geological formation in Durbuy, Belgium
The anticline of Durbuy features 25 layers of Mid-Frasnian marine limestone, measuring 90 meters at its base and rising 37 meters in height.
Jean-Baptiste-Julien d'Omalius d'Halloy first documented this geological structure in 1807, marking a significant advancement in the understanding of regional formations.
The anticline serves as an essential educational site for geology students from Belgium and neighboring countries, demonstrating the principles of rock folding.
Located within the UNESCO Global Geopark Famenne-Ardenne, visitors can observe the clear cross-section of folded rock layers throughout the year.
The Ourthe River's erosion process revealed the underlying Devonian formations, creating a complete exposure of the anticline's internal structure.
