Sculpture in tribute to the Botrèsses

Highlight • Monument

At an entrance to the site, you can admire this sculpture which pays homage to the botress,
another female figure from Liège's past. The bot worn by this woman was a kind of
hood, a long funnel-shaped basket carried on the back using straps which allowed all kinds of things to be carried. “fé comme les botresses” means taking the path
shorter.

The Terrils Centre and its café

Highlight • Rest Area

La Maison des Terrils is located in the former wash house of the Gosson II slag heap, which was once used as a shower room and miners' changing room. It is now an interpretation center for slag heaps. After discovering the neighboring plants and animals in view, you can go and meet them in their natural environment. Long thought of as the painful scars of a bygone industrial age, slag heaps are now havens for many species that are partially threatened with extinction. The abandonment of these sites by humans has enabled a diversified nature to colonize these seemingly hostile environments

The Terril du Gosson is located near the center of Liège, in the municipality of St-Nicolas. It is a nature reserve consisting of 9,500 thousand cubic meters of waste from industrial activity. One of the attractions on the grounds is a giant dragonfly, which is actually an art installation that serves as a storm basin.
