Τα 14 καλύτερα φυσικά μνημεία Fleurus

Λίγο σεβασμό για τα μονοπάτια παρακαλώ αγαπητοί κάστορες!! 😉

AI Overview The "Path of the Trees of the Twelve Nationalities," known in French as the Drève de la Mémoire (Avenue of Memory), is located in Marcinelle (Charleroi), near the Bois du Cazier site. Here are the key details: Location: The path leads to the former Bois du Cazier mine, the site of the tragic mining disaster on August 8, 1956. Symbolism: The avenue is lined with twelve different tree species, each symbolizing the twelve nationalities of the miners who perished in the disaster. Remembrance: It is a place of remembrance and reflection, situated in a green, wooded area (Bois du Prince). Accessibility: The Drève de la Mémoire is part of the walking trails around the Bois du Cazier and the Bois du Prince. This path is a living memorial to the victims, mainly immigrants (including 136 Italians), who died in the mine on August 8, 1956.

One of a total of two birdwatching huts in this part of the nature reserve of the former sedimentation ponds of the Genappe sugar factory. This one offers by far the best view with a beautiful large pond. The lookout hut is accessible via a simple gate (everything else is fenced) and a few stairs. A wonderfully quiet place too and well maintained. The classic information boards with birds that you could observe are present. The surroundings are also beautiful with a lovely path that leads you to the access to the stairs to the hut and offers beautiful views since you are already at a height before you climb to the lookout hut.

To be done in dry weather

Wet and boggy in rainy weather. Boots or high shoes recommended. :-) It is an area with active beaver(s).

I didn't think that beavers could change the landscape to this extent with their dams. The path is completely flooded in some places. We have to balance on logs. But it was very pleasant and spiced up our hike.

The Aulniats slag heap is an elongated and flat slag heap, with an unstructured look that culminates at 186 m. Its abundant vegetation, its viewpoints over the Sambre valley and its small "canyon" colored with reddish hues by the combustion of the shales are all discoveries that will punctuate your walk on the slag heap. Witness to the activity of the last Walloon coal mine, the Aulniats slag heap is an invitation to a bucolic outing for the whole family. It conceals so many unsuspected treasures! Thus, lovers of mining remains will be pleasantly surprised to discover industrial structures at its foot. Budding geologists will scrape the surface of the slag heap to discover the reddish shales, witnesses of the self-combustion of the slag heap. These red shales were also exploited until 2001 as backfill, in particular to stabilize the runway at Charleroi airport. As for photographers, they will enjoy the exceptional panorama offered by its summit plateau! Hikers, for their part, will be delighted to walk in an environment of high quality flora and fauna. A pedestrian connection is possible with the slag heap n°7 of the Gouffre located a few cables away.
