허스탈‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

Le Bois-les-Dames는 놀라움을 주는 장소 중 하나입니다. 리에주에서 불과 몇 킬로미터 떨어진 곳에 숲 속에서 탁 트인 황무지로, 작은 시냇물에서 광산 폐기물 지대로 바뀌며, 때로는 베스드르 계곡의 아름다운 파노라마를 감상할 수 있습니다. 야생적이면서도 놀랍도록 도시에 가까운 풍경입니다. 평범하지 않은 하이킹을 좋아하는 사람들에게는 멋진 발견이 될 것입니다.

Chaudfontaine 숲 속 깊숙한 곳에 숨겨진 악마의 다리(Pont du Diable)는 사람들의 호기심을 자극하고 이끌어들입니다. 건조한 돌로 만들어진 이 작은 아치는 셰일 암석 위에 놓여 숲 한가운데 거의 어울리지 않는 것처럼 보입니다. 그리고 모든 좋은 « 악마의 다리 »처럼, 그것은 그 전설을 가지고 있습니다… 이 하이킹에 신비로운 느낌을 더하는 개성 넘치는 길입니다.

It's a small but valuable reserve consisting of calcareous grasslands, scrub, and former quarry and slope areas. Thanks to the calcareous soil, rare plants such as orchids and thyme thrive here, and butterflies and insects abound. It's a quiet, sunny spot where nature has slowly reclaimed the old quarry slopes.

Its calamine-rich formation dates back to the time when the steelworks in the valleys of the Vesdre and the Ourthe released heavy metal fumes (zinc and lead) into the atmosphere, which were carried by the prevailing winds to the surrounding hills. This pollution resulted in impressive landscapes and a unique biotope. The large grassy areas are interspersed with gnarled oaks and a few birches, giving them a particularly remarkable "savannah" appearance.

Located in the municipality of Chaudfontaine (Ninane), directly opposite the "La Rochette" nature reserve, this vast calamine-rich heathland offers an exceptional landscape. It is classified as a site of great biological interest (SGIB) and is part of the Natura 2000 network.

Built of dry stone on the foundations of slate cliffs, it probably dates, according to tradition, to the construction of the railway in 1830 or during the development of the first hiking trails. The bridge is associated with a legend involving farmers from the hamlet of Ninane and the other surrounding hamlets who made a pact with the devil. Source: Signpost

Heyoule, also called after its founder, Charles Tihon, is a nature reserve east of Eben. The area covers more than 3.8 hectares and is managed by Natagora. It is the first nature reserve that was established on the Belgian part of the Sint-Pietersberg in 1973. There are several former flint quarries and calcareous grasslands are also found there. These are home to rare plant species, including bee orchid and green night orchid. Southern insect species, including solitary bee species, are also found there. Bats live in the former quarries. Furthermore, badger and natterjack toad can be mentioned.
