ショードフォンテーヌのおすすめツーリングルート

ショーフォンテーヌの森の奥深くにある悪魔の橋は、人を惹きつけるのと同じくらい興味をそそります。 乾いた石でできたこの小さなアーチは、粘板岩の岩の上に置かれ、森の真ん中にほとんど不釣り合いに見えます。そして、すべての良い「悪魔の橋」のように、それには伝説があります… このハイキングに神秘的な雰囲気を加える、個性豊かな道です。

Pepinster was one of the hardest hit.

The first known coal mining activities in the area date back to 1594. Wérister is specifically mentioned on June 10, 1684, on the occasion of a mining concession. However, the coal industry only really began to grow in 1827, when the Wérister colliery took over the Nooz-Donné concession, thus reaching a total area of 101 hectares. On June 10, 1873, a limited company was created with a capital of 600,000 francs. The coal mine had just been merged with the Fond des Fawes concession, covering an area of 67 ha 5 a, and on June 7, 1873, the company regained a quarter of the Foxhalle concession, covering 107 ha, for 135,000 francs, bringing the total area of the concession to 208 ha. Land was purchased near the railway line to expand industrial facilities and dig pits.
