History


Description

Grotte Scladina is an archaeological site with many famous finds. It is the only site with Neandertal remains in Belgium. There is also a museum with an exposition called "L'Enfant de Sclayn".

Excavations are still going on, so visits are possible but only after prior arrangement. This is the reason why only group rates are available. A visit with a group is possible weekdays all over the year. The visit includes a guided tour of one and a half hours, guided by an excavator. An individual visit is possible only for the museum, but does not include the cave with the excavation. In 2006 for the first time regularly scheduled tours take place. So it is possible to visit the cave without reservation at one time daily during July.
