MTB로 가능한 발라드, 멋진 풍경

Five fingers made of braided willow branches emerge from the earth to embrace a solitary oak tree. Like the gestures of an invisible giant, they seem to support it, protect it, and offer it a benevolent presence. This plant-like hand is both an offering that artist Fred Martin wanted to make to the forest and a gift he offers you. He invites you to realize that each tree, guardian of the woods, deserves attention, care, and gratitude.

Emerging from among the trees, a herd of deer stares at you. But look closely, these deer have something special... Created from chairs adorned with branches resembling antlers and artificial grass growing on their seats, this work by Fiona Paterson combines the natural and the domestic, the wild and the civilized. By giving the furniture animal features and situating it in a forest setting, the work invites you to reconsider the human presence in the natural world, not as dominant, but as discreetly integrated, even displaced. Artist: Fiona Paterson

This large artificial lake is a superb hiking spot. The tour of the lake is a route of approximately 16 kilometers, allowing you to discover the banks of the lake and the Helpe Majeure river, through beautiful meadows and the Abbé-Val-Joly national forest.

A short tour in the Avesnes countryside offering beautiful views of Solre-le-Château and its leaning bell tower. Route mainly on asphalt paths with however a grassy path over 600m. Possibility of walking from Lez-Fontaine to the hamlet of l'Epine via the greenway. Ideal departure: the square of Solre-le-Château where parking is easy and where it is possible to eat or refuel.

A nice little hike to discover what ValJoly offers as an activity (horseback riding, mini golf, simple or electric pedal boat, bike ride, etc.). I did this hike with my dog and in the middle of the rain, overall the paths are in good condition. There is just one part, after the equestrian center, where the path is dirt with a slight downward slope. Be careful of slipping ☺️

From the Nord department not the Ardennes...😧
