Tips

The ruisseau Froumicht is a 3 km-long tributary of the Sûre to the west of Bigonville. It is formed by two small brooks that rise not far from the village and meet near one of the village's old wash-houses. The valley is characterized by wet meadows that are grazed and partly fallow.
This valley has the particularity of having been a working area for two major LIFE projects, LIFE islek and LIFE Unio. First and foremost, it is of vital importance for the thick mullet (Unio crassus), which is well represented along the Sûre and needs a healthy fish population. Its host fish use the tributaries and migrate along these streams in search of spawning grounds. They are often blocked by impassable obstacles. Eight of these obstacles were removed and replaced by bridges as part of the LIFE Unio project, including one near the Froumicht washhouse.

The fallow areas near the river mouth are bistort meadows and home to a population of bistort copper (Lycaena helle). These plots were safeguarded as part of the LIFE Eislek project.
‍The stream's narrow alluvial zone functions as an important ecological corridor. It is extensively managed with two local farmers through summer grazing by horse and cattle.

Meadow-suckle (Succisa pratensis), or devil's-bit, is a fairly rare plant of lean wet meadows, which is in decline due to drainage of wet meadows and agricultural intensification. Its popular name derives from the appearance of its rhizome, which appears "bitten" or cut.

The black woodpecker (Dryocopus martius) is the largest of the woodpeckers, and is particularly fond of large forests. Its presence is easily noticed by its two characteristic calls, a long, plaintive sound on the tree and a powerful "krukrukrukru" sound in flight.
