楽しい散歩

The gravel pit is a rich site for photography enthusiasts or walkers who wish to stroll along well-maintained paths and observe birds in peace. It's a recommended spot for walkers and photographers. Please respect the guidelines, such as keeping your dog on a leash (even if some people think it's harmless to let their dog off-leash, be aware that animals have predatory instincts, which could scare away certain ground-nesting bird species like kingfishers) and refraining from swimming so as not to disturb the birds. Thank you to everyone who respects the guidelines, and I wish you a pleasant hike or a great photo outing 🙏.

Former Cistercian abbey dating back to 1244. A beautiful circular courtyard with lodgings, a farmhouse, a watermill, and a lovely chapel. Now state-owned, it serves a variety of purposes. It houses the Cultural Heritage Department and the Hesbaye-Meuse Tourist Office. There are also reception rooms, a restaurant, and a museum dedicated to Cistercian life.

A complex of abbey buildings, a chapel, a dovecote, a mill, and gardens. It was a Cistercian abbey whose origins date back to 1244. Currently owned by the Labeye family, it has a lease agreement with the Walloon Heritage Institute. It now serves as a multifunctional training center, meeting rooms, restaurant, and museum of Cistercian life.

One of Liège's most beautiful castles, originating in the 11th century, completely surrounded by a moat. Striking are the checkerboard facades in limestone and brown sandstone and the pepper-pot-like turrets. Various owners succeeded one another over the centuries. For two centuries (16th-17th century), it was owned by the powerful de Merode family, who gave the castle its current appearance. They sold it to the Van den Steen family in 1720. The last descendant of the family, Count Guy vanden Steen, bequeathed it to the province in 1999. He was a sculptor, among other things, and many of his bronze statues still adorn the gardens. He did, however, incorporate a distinctive symbolism, depicting nude female figures mating with beetles. The 22-hectare estate also features an Italian ornamental garden with water features and bronze statues, a 19th-century vegetable garden with orangeries, a 19th-century icehouse, and many listed trees. The castle also has its own church within the moat on a peninsula. Over the centuries, the owners have amassed numerous curiosities that can be seen in the castle, which is now a provincial property and open to visitors.

The island is inextricably linked to the Amay Barracks and the 4th Engineer Battalion. It serves as a strategic training ground where soldiers practice: Bridge construction (floating bridges, Bailey bridges). Crossing waterways. Piloting tugboats.

A legacy of engineering in Amay. This wooden bridge, deeply rooted in the history of our barracks, spans the Meuse as a symbol of military know-how and resilience. A simple yet essential structure.
