ヴェルレーヌの湖・トップ4

砂利採取場は、写真愛好家や、手入れの行き届いた小道を歩き、静かに鳥を観察したい散歩者にとって、非常に豊かな場所です。ハイカーや写真家におすすめの場所です。 犬はリードにつないでおくなど、指示に従ってください（たとえ一部の人が犬を自由にしても害はないと考えていても、捕食本能を持つ動物がいることを知っておいてください。これは地上で営巣するカワセミなどの一部の鳥を追い払う可能性があります）。また、鳥を邪魔しないように水浴びはしないでください。指示に従ってくださるすべての方々に感謝いたします。ハイキングや写真撮影を楽しんでください 🙏。

Quarries have been a major industry in this region for almost a century. In recent decades, further expansion projects have been planned here in Moha. These have repeatedly met with resistance from residents of neighboring Vinalmont, where the rural hamlets of Wanzoul and Roua are threatened by an expansion of the quarry's current infrastructure. During a public inquiry organized by the local government in 1997, the number of written protests (nearly 1,500) exceeded the total number of residents of Vinalmont (over 1,070). Source: Wikipedia

The gravel pit was in operation until 2006, after which it became a 44-hectare nature reserve with a lake for waterfowl, which can be spotted in several waterside huts. Up to 120 different species have been observed there. A well-maintained Gravièrepad with beautiful banks and a swallow wall leads you around it – beautiful.

A beautiful area of (only) 34.5 hectares, characterized by reed beds, cattail ponds, and pools fringed by shrubs or with open banks... These diverse habitats offer countless bird species places to forage, nest, hibernate, or rest during their migration. No fewer than 212 species have already been observed! (Source: www.natagora.be)

There is not much to see here. The quarry is also not accessible. Follow the path up to the viewpoint over the quarry with benches (also for picnic), information boards and more beautiful things.
