Departure from Chaudfontaine (Province de Liège)
The Lande Mehagne: an unusual landscape that resembles a savannah.
The vegetation growing in the Lande is unique. This is due to a specific type of soil known as ‘calaminous’, which contains high levels of zinc. Industrial activities at the former factories in Trooz and Angleur – which have been extracting and processing zinc ore since 1860 – have, over more than a century, resulted in fallout that has permeated the soil, creating a unique biotope.
