Beautiful hike to discover the alley of the stairs which has more than 200 limestone steps. It connects Olne to Vaux-sous-Olne and Nessonvaux. This alley was widely used by people coming by train to work in Olne, it would have been built by Russian workers according to the elders of the region.
Nessonvaux surprised us with the establishment of its old stone houses and the Ry de Vau grain mill which was also used to manufacture "damask" cannons, in particular for the American Civil War, it is flanked by its small forges : the André court It is the only one to have kept its wheel.
We followed Le Ry de Vaux, which is a small stream tributary of the Vesdre, to go up towards Olne. Lots of differences in height and discoveries
