Οι καλύτερες διαδρομές και πεζοπορίες Flize

The Trans-Ardennes Greenway follows the old towpath along the Meuse. As you leave Lumes, you pass under the railway bridge, then the motorway, before entering quieter lands.

Built at the beginning of the 19th century, Flize Castle then became a cloth factory, then a spinning mill, before once again becoming a private home.

At the edge of this magnificent lake, you can admire the view and maybe even catch a few fish. The trail also takes dirt roads through farmland and along the Meuse River, offering a wide variety of scenery and wildlife.

Fort des Ayvelles is a fortification built at the end of the 19th century to protect the railway network from enemy attacks. You can explore the fort's massive walls, underground passages, casemates and observatory, and learn about its role during the world wars. The fort is surrounded by a beautiful park with a pond, a playground and a picnic area. You can also enjoy the panoramic view of the Meuse valley from the top of the hill where the fort is located. The fort is open Tuesday to Sunday, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., and the entrance fee is 5 euros per adult. Don't forget to bring a flashlight, a bottle of water and your curiosity!

The Flize metal bridge is an emblematic site of the First World War. In 1914, in order to limit the advance of German troops, the French mined it. In 1916, the Germans began its reconstruction, carried out mainly by Russian and Italian prisoners of war held in a work camp. Many soldiers died in these places. The Green Bridge, as Flize residents affectionately call it, was built in 1906 to provide access to the Flize steel factory. It allowed the transport by rail of the raw materials the factory needed and the departure of manufactured steel throughout Europe.
