    Mountain biking

    The Hussar Beech was painted around 1930 by the four Clément brothers, owners of the mill of the same name in Saint-Léger. Their favorite pastime was engraving and painting on tree trunks, an activity they carried out during hunting trips. The Hussar Beech received a new makeover this summer of 2014 thanks to the collaboration of the municipalities of Virton and Saint-Léger. The Grognard and the Madonna were made after the Hussar. But the three trees are worth the walk!
