Tips

Phil-de-Miermont

August 30, 2023

This panorama, which recalls the Semois at Rochehaut/Frahan or the Tombeau du Géant at Ucimont-Botassart, is splendid, peaceful and majestic at the same time, the place is a promontory with a whole ridge to follow on a mountain-type forest path but not dangerous at all, with an absolutely unmissable view of the valley!

Perched 120 meters above the Ourthe valley, the site owes its name to the fact that it was once a nesting site, particularly for peregrine falcons, which have disappeared from this area since 1958. The cliff itself is barely visible from the valley, as it is largely hidden by vegetation.

From up here, you have a magnificent panoramic view of the Ourthe meander.

North of Esneux, the Roche aux Faucons is a cliff dominating the left side of the Ourthe valley, at the height of a meander of great aesthetic, scientific and landscape value, classified as "Grand site paysager de la boucle de l'Ourthe ". This limestone rock was carved out of the valley by the river and takes its name from the fact that it used to be a breeding ground for the peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), which, after disappearing for several decades, seems to be reclaiming the place. The entire slope is covered with hillside forest in which various special calm-loving plants flourish, such as the Male Orchid (Orchis mascula), the Purple Orchid (Orchis purpurea) and the Yellow Dogwood (Cornus mas). There are also several chantoirs (vanishing holes) and dolines (bowl-shaped pits) on the plateau. More on biodiversite.wallonie.be/fr/3248-roche-aux-faucons.html?IDD=251661754&IDC=1881
