I went here when I was a kid once, and returned not expecting a whole lot more than a bit of nostalgia, but there is a lot more to it than that. I wish I'd come earlier in the day as there was so much to see! This is a set of attactions, which includes a museum of archeological finds, that I did not have enough time for to see, and a museum that shows mannequins involved in old timey occupations, which was endearing. The main things are the animal park and the caves though. The animal park is visited in a safari bus, it has all the larger native European animals, and the landscape is stunning. The caves were much more impressive than I remembered them. It is quite a walk underground, something like 2 kilometres and 500 steps, so this is not something for the very young or very old. Of course, this complex of caves has been open to the public for 200 years, which means it is not in pristine condition. But the sheer size of it, the size and the variation of rock formations, and the whole presentation of it is truly impressive. The guide was lovely, and there is a short, artistic light show halfway trough. If you do not speak French or Dutch you may want to ask for help at the information desk, as this is a destination that mostly sees visitors from Belgium and the Netherlands.

Grotte La Merveilleuse

Reviewed By high_low73 - Bergen, Norway

The Cave 'La Merveilleuse' might very well be our best experience, as far as sights go, in Dinant. The cave consists of many separate rooms that characterize this fascinating natural phenomenon. La Merveilleuse (The Marvellous) was discovered in 1904, and is in private hands. we experienced stalagmites, stalactites and small running water as we wondered through the lovely chambers. The tour took about an hour before we climbed back to daylight. The most amazing was the tour guide that with his knowledge and humour made it all come to life and made it an unforgettable tour. We had plenty of time to look around on our own and take some pictures. A bit kitschy shop at the entrance, and the toilet facilities were horrible. But cave and guide were fabulous!
