So cool to see this and to hike here.

Really very beautiful.

Covered and in a beautiful setting. 👌

It's wonderful to see the river in action. It can get a bit busier, but it's definitely worth it for anyone who enjoys riverside walks.

The valley of the Hoëgne is of remarkable botanical interest for the liverworts, moss and ferns that can be observed there. Its floristic wealth alone justifies a very special protection. At the end of the 19th century, at a time of high tourism in the region, it was necessary to offer the bourgeoisie and the working class a holiday resort where they could rest, such as the valley of the Hoëgne. This is what the members of the Sart-Attractions circle set themselves the goal of developing this exceptionally rich site in less than two months. Great efforts were made to offer the city dwellers a place where they could indulge in the pleasures of fishing, admire enchanting landscapes and recharge their batteries with the power of the torrents. Queen Marie-Henriette, who lived in Spa at the end of her life, inaugurated the new promenade on September 25, 1899. The two main waterfalls along the river are

The Hoëgne, the main tributary of the Weser, is undoubtedly the most famous of the rivers that have their origins on the plateau of the High Fens. Its first waters flow at an altitude of 660 m, near the Baraque Michel. After winding through the peat of the Fens, the slope becomes steeper from the Centenary Footbridge. The Hoëgne then becomes a raging torrent as far as Belleheid at an altitude of 380 m, offering some of its most beautiful views. In past centuries, this river was the scene of an important activity in iron ore mining, which made the reputation of the Marquis of Franchimont, to which the Sart territory was attached.

Sturdy shoes are necessary, it can be slippery and wet.

Streversdorp, also known as the 'Graaf' castle (indeed after the word 'graaf'), is a medieval castle from the 13th century (according to legend it dates from 915) located in the hollow of a valley, through which a stream flows with the name Streverstroperbach which feeds the Geul river. The name of the stream and castle come from the first known owner, Egidius de Triversdorp in 1275. The mansion is accessed through a yard bordered by two wings, one built of brick (18th century), the other of limestone rubble (1687). On the far right is a chapel, probably dating from the 15th century, but rebuilt in 1734 by Vincent de Belderbusch and his wife Marie-Claire de Westrem, whose coat of arms the castle bears. The Horrick family (1431-1530), the Belderbusch family (1530 -1810), the Thiriart family (1810-1908) and the Charles Janne Dothée family (1908-1986) are other families that owned the castle. The walls are 1.5 meters thick and the fortress is protected by a wide moat fed by two ponds. It is accessed from the south via a three-arched stone bridge leading (formerly the drawbridge) to the entrance gate, which is topped by an oval bull's eye dating from the 17th century. In the centre, the former 13th-century keep contains a beautiful vaulted room with a beautiful fresco that has now disappeared. In the 16th century two towers were added to the south-west and north-west corners. The north side is lit only by gun ports and the rest by three latrines.
