The best running trails around Burdinne

The pleasant path runs between Bois Dreût Thier and Thier Moulu. "Thier" translates as "hill" or "small hill." The path does indeed have some relief, with beautiful views of the wider area at both slightly higher ends. The lower section, lined with trees and shrubs, also offers lovely views.

The Sint-Jan-de-Doper church rises above the village of Huccorgne on a rock. Although the church 'only' dates from 1907, a stone on the east side of the choir tells that the parish already had a place of worship in 1662. In the current church, all the stones from the previous church, mainly sandstone rubble, were salvaged and reused in the masonry. The rest of the stones probably came from quarries in the Condroz region. Source: bibliotheca.wanze.be

It is striking that the victims mentioned on the monument, three from the First and two from the Second World War, did not fall here, but - with one exception, who died in Harderwijk in the Netherlands - fell one by one in West Flanders (De Panne, Adinkerke, Kuurne, Tielt). www.tracesofwar.nl

Quarries have been a major industry in this region for almost a century. In recent decades, further expansion projects have been planned here in Moha. These have repeatedly met with resistance from residents of neighboring Vinalmont, where the rural hamlets of Wanzoul and Roua are threatened by an expansion of the quarry's current infrastructure. During a public inquiry organized by the local government in 1997, the number of written protests (nearly 1,500) exceeded the total number of residents of Vinalmont (over 1,070). Source: Wikipedia

The fortified tower, situated on the edge of the Fosseroule stream and defending the valley, is considered a peripheral bastion of Moha Castle, located a mile and a half away. Agricultural and residential buildings form an enclosed complex, built between the 17th and 19th centuries. In the eastern corner stands an imposing tower, built of limestone rubble, with a square plan (16th century) on a wider, sloping base. This tower originates from an earlier structure, the cellars of which have also been preserved. The openings were modified, and in the 17th century, the tower was extended on the south side with a bay of limestone rubble and brick, reaching the limits of the original structure. To the west of the tower stands a two-story house, perpendicular to the tower, built of limestone rubble, probably dating from the 17th century. Source: bibliotheca.wanze.be

Forest road in the heart of the Burdinale valley.

The war memorial at the church in Oteppe commemorates one military victim and the veterans of the First World War (11 names on the right side). First World War: Delfosse Joseph, Keiem, October 19, 1914. He is also mentioned on the war memorial in Lamontzée. The text on the memorial reads: "To our heroes, death for the fatherland." Two memorial plaques are mounted on the plinth. The first memorial commemorates Plumier Elie, who died as a prisoner of war in Neubrandenburg (Germany) on June 28, 1943. A second memorial plaque commemorates the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the concentration camps (1945–1995). Source: tracesofwar.nl

The history of the church of Oteppe dates back to the 14th century (perhaps even the 13th). The patronage of the church of Oteppe had been held by Orval Abbey in Villers-devant-Orval since 1304. In 1700, the tower and nave of the church were rebuilt. A new choir was also built in 1774, but it was rebuilt again half a century later, in 1832-1833, along with the entire nave. The tower was rebuilt in 1887, but it turned out that the nave vaults could not support the weight of the new tower. This resulted in a more complex and extensive renovation than initially planned. The church furnishings date from the 18th or 19th century. The 18th-century main altar originally stood in the Saint-Quirinus Priory in Huy. Source: Wikipedia
