Belgium is a small country (30,000km²), located in Western Europe. It is 'pressed' between the big sisters of France and Germany. The Capital city is Brussels. In this tiny country, 10,000,000 people live close to each other. Luckily, only 2,200 of them are cavers...

Belgium can be divided in two parts that are in many ways completely different from each other. In the northern part (Vlaaderen) people speak Dutch. This part is very populated (over 60% of total Belgian population), very industrialized, very flat and does not have one single cave.

In the southern part (Wallonie) people speak French, there are still lots of beautiful woods and rivers, the land is quite hilly (highest 'peak' is almost 700 m above sea level) and ...there are a lot of caves. So, if you ever want to go caving in Belgium, you know where the action is.
