Carrière des Vaux
Description
This limestone quarry was closed in the 1980s and is situated in the East of Cerfontaine, very near to the Lacs de l'Eau d'Heure. Its fate is, in fact, closely influence by that of the dams that were built in the 1970s and that, today, are a visitors' attraction.
The Carrière des Vaux is a haven for different types of plants that thrive in a limestone environment, as well as rarer species of flowers and trees. Around the water's edge, there also are several species of amphibians and reptiles, as well as birds.
In 2004, the whole complex was made a state-owned Wildlife Park, and is about 16 ha.
