The most beautiful view of the Sy rocks is from the opposite bank. A footpath and cycle path leads past the banks of the Ourthe. At the same time you always have a beautiful view over the Ourthe to the rock faces of Sy.

You stare open-mouthed at the rocks along the banks of the Ourthe...

On the right bank of the Ourthe, the Sy rocks are used by mountaineers. The main ones are located upstream of the village and are called the Cathedral Rock and the Nandouire Rock. These limestone rocks, which are part of the Calestienne, have been included on the list of classified real estate heritage of Ferrières since 1942 and are listed as a site of great biological interest.
These same rocks were painted by Richard Heintz who resided for many years in the village and died on the other bank of the Ourthe in Verlaine-sur-Ourthe (Tohogne - currently Durbuy) (commemorative plaque) but his death was recorded in Sy (then commune of Vieuxville).
