Beaver Dams and Habitat

I wasn't expecting this, but it's amazing what these creatures can build. Make sure you bring boots that can handle some water and dirt because the beaver dams have flooded the walking trail.

Beautiful walk to do preferably in dry periods and equip yourself with a stick for the few more difficult passages on logs so as not to have wet feet. The presence of tents at the foot of Villers Abbey is due to the medieval festival of that day

April 11, 2025,VILLERS-LA-VILLE - du terrain de jeu des castors au jacinthes sauvages du bois d'Hez

A beautiful hike through the Bois d'Hez in Villers-la-Ville, and along its eponymous Ry. Along this Ry, we first cross the playground of countless local beavers. We will then return to the Bois d'Hez by taking a steep climb and cross through its paradise of wild hyacinths, in full bloom around April 15th until the end of this month.
