Hiking
The Carrière Jaminon on the outskirts of Pepinster is a former quarry that was used as a climbing site for a long time. The extremely steep routes in the cave are no longer accessible due to the risk of collapse...
... but also because the protection of the biotope and its fauna has become a priority (and climbing tourism seriously affected that biotope), the cavity has now been closed and placed under the status of a national nature reserve.
