It is between Etalle and Virton, very precisely in Croix-Rouge, that you will find the place called "Trou des Fées". Well known to the inhabitants of the region, this unique site is at the center of many legends relating to the history of D’jean dMady but also and especially to that of the fairies of Gaume.

Unmissable for the Red Cross: Dive into an enchanted kingdom where legends and mysteries weave the fabric of the landscape… This mountain of sand, like a sleeping giant, reveals its heart of stone sculpted by the whims of time. At the dawn of the Jurassic, erosion gently carved out winding galleries, while the main gallery, 15 meters long, arouses a curious fascination. Was it an offering from the ancients, shaped by human hands, or simply the patient work of nature? The flints found nearby whisper echoes of prehistory, silent witnesses of a bygone era. The Trou des Fées, guardian of forgotten secrets, awaits you.

Lots of great walks or mountain bike rides to do, very beautiful site and close to Ravel too. Easy parking near the 4 paths

The Mellier forges are a historic site in Belgium which highlights the industrial heritage of the region. They were built in 1617 by François de Gorzée and Pierre Goens, who wanted to exploit the region's natural resources: water, wood and iron ore. Forges produced high-quality metal products until the early 19th century, when they could not compete with new technologies in the coal and coke industries. The site was then used as a sawmill until the 20th century, when it was abandoned and left to fall into disrepair. Today, the Mellier forges are a protected monument and part of Wallonia's exceptional heritage. You can visit the remains of the buildings, such as the coal hall, lime kilns, dam bridge and ore hall, and learn about the history and techniques of the metalworkers. The site is also surrounded by a beautiful forest, where you can hike along the Mellier River.
