From the viewpoint, you can enjoy the changing landscape: the river meanders through the region, with vast fields and forests adorning its banks. The picturesque villages along the Sambre add a historical and cultural element to the view. In the distance, you can often see a beautiful interplay of nature and architecture, with old castles, mills and churches.
