Grotte du Castel, Dinant, Province de Namur, Région wallonne, Belgique
This cave is situated on the heights of the Castel.
Completely fillled with mud but it seems that some diggings have occured here. Some say that some cave bear fossils have been found but there are no records.
In the back of the cave, there is a small passage who leads to a large chamber with stalacmites and stalactites. The story goes that the largest pieces were removed to be installed in the Han cave.
