On the banks of La Lomme, you will discover the rock and the mythical story of the witch Marie Gobaille. The legend of the half witch and half horse is still alive among the inhabitants of Mirwart. Every year at the beginning of spring, the witch Marie Gobaille is symbolically burned again.

Legend has it that Marie Gobaille was the village witch and that, condemned to the stake, she turned into a horse but continued to sow terror. The inhabitants of the surrounding villages then joined forces and cut off his head, which they carried around like a trophy in the village. Since that day, the inhabitants of Mirwart have been nicknamed the “tièsses di tchfaux” (“horse heads”, in Walloon)

Beautiful, but be careful. Bridge at this hiking highlight is broken!
Cross the water at the train bridge a few hundred meters further.
