Field of cairns

Highlight • Structure

In earlier times, and sometimes even today, stones were piled up in remote areas to serve as signposts.
Today, hiking tourists like to pile up stones and leave them behind as a personal sign saying "I/we were here".

Hobbit House of Guy Philippart

Highlight • Structure

Here, in this small Ardennes village of Quarreux, there is an extraordinary and worth seeing "hobbit" house, the Maison Philippart. A great photo highlight and a beautiful example of architectural creativity.

Cascade of the Gold Mine

Highlight • Waterfall

The end of the last century was a golden age on the edge of the Ambleve. Some adventurers used the gold pan and the "sluice" or searched the sand and gravel of the river, like the American gold prospectors.
The so-called auriferous region stretches from Faymonville (Malmedy region) to the Plateau des Tailles (near Baraque de Fraiture). Small artificial mounds of earth (between 1 and 5 meters high) along the Chefna stream bear witness to this.
This small valley was a site of gold nugget mining in pre-Roman times and again from the 19th to the early 20th centuries.

November 26, 2024,Balade de la Mine d'Or - Rû de Blanches Pierres vanuit Quarreux - Aywaille 🐾⭐️

Beautiful walk along the Chefna and, unexpectedly, a piece of Ninglinspo. Originally I wanted to walk differently, but ended up at the Ruisseau de Blanches Pierres due to closed paths. That was not bad at all, it was beautiful and adventurous walking 🐶👌
