Magical Caves of Remouchamps – Belgium's Hidden Underground World

Caves of Remouchamps

Just a 15-minute drive from the town of Spa in Belgium lies one of the most underrated natural wonders in Europe — the Remouchamps Caves. If you're into unique experiences, dramatic underground landscapes, and a little bit of adventure, this one should definitely be on your list.

🗺️ Where Exactly Are We?

Remouchamps is a small village tucked in the Ardennes, and the caves here have been attracting curious explorers for centuries. Think less touristy than the big names like Postojna or Lascaux — but no less impressive.

🕳️ What Makes These Caves So Special?

What sets Remouchamps apart is that it’s not just a walk-through cave — it’s also home to the longest underground boat ride in Europe! Yep, you actually drift through the cave system in a little boat, with only lantern light reflecting off the silent water. It's peaceful, mysterious, and honestly... kinda magical.

Here’s how it goes down:

• 🥾 First Half: You walk through stunning chambers filled with stalactites and stalagmites — some over 8,000 years old. The guide shares cool facts, and the air is fresh and slightly cool — perfect on a hot day.

• 🛶 Second Half: You hop into a small boat and float silently through the illuminated caves. This part is hands down the highlight — like entering a real-life fantasy film.

This place is low light, so if you're filming or snapping pics:

• Use a camera with good low-light performance

• Consider bringing a small, warm-toned light to avoid harsh flash

• Wide-angle shots of the boat ride = chef’s kiss

🧒 Family-Friendly?

Absolutely. Kids love the boat ride, and the tour is about 1.5 hours — just the right length to keep them engaged. Bonus: there’s a little souvenir shop and a café nearby.

🚗 How to Get There?

If you're staying in Spa, it's a quick drive — or you can take a local bus to Aywaille and walk from there. There’s also free parking near the entrance.
