Its calamine-rich formation dates back to the time when the steelworks in the valleys of the Vesdre and the Ourthe released heavy metal fumes (zinc and lead) into the atmosphere, which were carried by the prevailing winds to the surrounding hills. This pollution resulted in impressive landscapes and a unique biotope. The large grassy areas are interspersed with gnarled oaks and a few birches, giving them a particularly remarkable "savannah" appearance.

Built of dry stone on the foundations of slate cliffs, it probably dates, according to tradition, to the construction of the railway in 1830 or during the development of the first hiking trails. The bridge is associated with a legend involving farmers from the hamlet of Ninane and the other surrounding hamlets who made a pact with the devil. Source: Signpost
