Trou du Canal, Dinant, Province de Namur, Région wallonne, Belgique


This is not the official name of the cave as there is non.
Locals name it that way because it is situated along an artificial canal, dug to avoid flood of the lower levels of the Lesse river and to bring water to a very small watermill to produce electricity.
The cave if filled with with mud so finding some artefects or fossils is almost impossible or at least difficult.
