    Hiking

    Located on the left bank of the Bilstain ru, a little after the enduro area and before arriving at the Rocher called "Napoleon's nose".
    According to legend, nutons are small beings very clever with their hands. They carry out minor repair work for payment in kind, offerings placed at the entrance to their caves. But beware ... they have a reputation for being mischievous and cunning ...

    Hiking

    This cave is located on the left bank of the Ruisseau de Villers (La Pancherelle) and is located a little higher up along the hiking trail, in the forests of Saint-Jacques. The "nuton" (or lûton, nûton, gnome in Dutch) is a small creature from the folklore and popular beliefs of the French and Belgian Ardennes. The nuton has the same origins as the gnome, but according to local folklore, caves, caverns and underground passages make up most of its habitat, much like the dwarves of the Germanic world.
