The Porte Aïve Cave

The vast entrance room with a single, narrow, 30 meter long gallery leading off it is of great interest to archaeologists. The cave was used by man from as early as the Neolithic period. A collective burial place, a Neolithic type of necropolis, has been unearthed at the entrance terrace. There is very probably that an older (Palaeolithic) site inside the cave itself At the end of 1944, the Germans established a command post inside the cave. Geologically speaking, this cave has the particularity of running perpendicular to the rock strata, which are vertical. (Text source by Rsi de Hotton)
