On this stage, you will walk on the old regional tram line from 1886.

Historical significance: In Poix, a railway station was built on the Namur-Arlon line to serve Saint-Hubert and the surrounding area. Due to the strong industrialisation of the Val de Poix, the station was used intensively. In 1886, we opened a railway line that connected Saint-Hubert to Libin and Bald, also to Bras-Séviscourt, and enabled traffic in the surrounding villages.

This valley has undergone intense economic development since the iron and steel factories of the abbot of Saint-Hubert, Nicolas Spirlet, at the end of the 18th century (forges, platinum workshop, splitting), with paper pulp factories, sawmills and carbonisation in the 19th. Water days and water production begin on the 20th day. The valley owes its significant economic development to the simultaneous possession of water and wood. The tram line was closed to passenger traffic in 1957 and to freight traffic two years later, in 1959.

Today, walkers can enjoy this old railway line that slowly bridges the differences in height.
