Polissoir in Namur
Two Polissoirs first recognized in 1927.
Access : same as for the "Pierre qui Tourne". From there, 100 m on foot towards the West through an inextricable wood.
Not quite easy to find. Better come in the winter, when the trees have lost their leaves.
The coordinates are approximate (accuracy : 10-20 m). You see the polissoir when you have your nose against it.
