Magnificent walk, I loved it! A perfect region for walks in the woods!

You regularly have a view of the castle... Château des Comtes de Hamal in Vierves-sur-Viroin Based on a fortress and a farm of medieval origin, the emblematic building spreads its slender silhouette over the landscape of Vierves-sur-Viroin - private property. The ‘Comtes de Hamal’, who owned the estate between 1567 and 1852, extensively renovated the old medieval fortress and farm and reduced the defensive functions of the building to a basic level. The facade of the house, in classical style, is pierced with large windows. This “modern” house is flanked by the so-called Attila tower, whose bulbous roof pushes the castle into the landscape, while the large windows offer new lookouts. In the second half of the 19th century, work on pleasure continued: the two courtyards were joined together to form a large terrace overlooking the valley.

The garden is below, the tree-lined ring that splits the ramparts...

The Château Diericx de Tenham in Surice has a remarkable history, especially during the First World War. Aline Diericx de ten Hamme spent the summer with her sister in the castle of Surice and published an account of her experiences during the German invasion in August 1914. This account was published in the revue “Les Annales” on February 21, 1915. Surice itself is a section of the city of Philippeville, located in the province of Namur, and has a rich history dating back to Roman times and the Merovingian era. The village has suffered many wars and invasions over the centuries, which has undoubtedly had an impact on the local monuments, including possibly the Château Diericx de Tenham.

Very beautiful castle from the 16th century, but which is not accessible to the public.

Village a little unknown but really worth the detour

It's just a brilliant bike route, quiet and close to nature.

In the Meuse valley, near the Belgian border, in the heart of the Regional Natural Park of the Ardennes lies the charming medieval village of Hierges, in the shadow of its castle. This castle of Hierges was rebuilt in the 16th century, when only consisting of towers and defensive walls, in a Mosan Renaissance style, and supplemented with beautiful gardens in the French and Italian style. This is not all for lovers of old buildings: go out into the city and discover the beautiful cobblestone streets surrounded by old houses!
