It is one of the most beautiful panoramas of the Belgian Ardennes! According to legend, a giant is buried here who, after losing a battle against the Romans, refused to be taken prisoner and preferred to throw himself into the void rather than die in the arenas of the Colosseum.

The Tomb of the Giant is classified as "exceptional heritage of Wallonia". It offers a spectacular view of a bend in the Semois.

According to legend, a giant would be buried there who, refusing to be a prisoner of the Romans after the Battle of the Sambre, would have preferred to throw himself into the void rather than die in the arenas of the Colosseum.
