The Fourchinée pond, located between the communes of Momignies and Chimay, was created to supply a furnace that operated until the beginning of the 18th century. Occupying an area of approximately 12.9 hectares, it is located in an area rich in Eau Blanche springs. Today it is managed by Natagora as a nature reserve, home to remarkable biodiversity with many rare plant species and interesting birdlife, including the two-spotted cordula and other dragonflies.
