Hiking

Many mine tunnels run underground here. To gain access to the good layers, the Salm miners sometimes dug long tunnels through the hard rock. The resistance of the rock is so great that the tunnels did not need to be supported. They were equipped with rails on which carts brought the blocks coming out of the mine to the surface. The chambers in which the blocks were loosened were very large: it was said that the church of Vielsalm could stand in the largest chamber.
