20의 바이로인-헤르메톤 자연공원가지 명소 & 주요 장소

Moulin Guillaume의 기원은 수차가 지역 경제에서 필수적인 역할을 했던 시대로 거슬러 올라갑니다. 이 제분소는 이 지역의 특징인 구릉진 풍경과 자연 하천에서 흘러나오는 물로 동력을 얻었습니다. 물의 에너지는 곡물을 가루로 빻는 데 사용되었으며, 이는 이전 세기 지역 식량 공급에 매우 중요한 활동이었습니다. 건축학적으로 Moulin Guillaume는 이 지역의 전통적인 시골 건축 양식에 속합니다. 건물은 일반적으로 주변에서 구할 수 있었을 뿐만 아니라 내구성과 풍경과의 조화에도 기여한 자연석으로 지어졌습니다. 수로를 따라 위치한 것은 제분소의 작동에 필수적인 기능적 특징입니다. 원래의 기계 장치나 수로 기반 시설의 잔재는 종종 이러한 장소에서 부분적으로 볼 수 있습니다. 생태학적으로 Moulin Guillaume의 주변 환경은 물, 숲, 석회질 토양의 조합으로 인해 흥미롭습니다. 이러한 요인들은 습기를 좋아하는 식물과 석회를 좋아하는 식물 종이 모두 서식하는 다양한 생태계를 만듭니다. 또한 오래된 수로와 연못은 양서류와 곤충의 생물 다양성에 기여합니다.

The area surrounding this still-active watermill is wonderfully peaceful. Nearby, there's a large bench where you can take a break.

Trains still pass through this tunnel. Using it is a real danger.

The Fondry des Chiens in Nismes, also known as the Belgian Grand Canyon, is a natural hollow formed by the seepage of rainwater through the limestone bedrock. It is a unique geological phenomenon and one of the few places in Belgium where you can see such natural gorges. The hollow is approximately 100 metres long and 20 metres deep. The area is surrounded by limestone grassland and dotted with rocks, crevices and caves. The site is rich in rare flowers such as wild orchids and ball daisies, and offers a habitat for various butterflies and lizards. The area is recognised as a nature reserve and is protected because of its vulnerable flora and fauna.

The Moulin Guillaume is a historic water mill located on the banks of the Eau Noire. The mill was first mentioned in 1609 and was originally a ban mill, where residents were obliged to have their grain ground by the appointed miller. The mill was sold in 1850 to a certain Guillaume, hence the name. It was used until 1928 and then dismantled. Since 2013, the mill has been working again and generates green energy. The project was carried out by the municipality and the Parc Naturel Viroin Hermeton. The mill can generate around 30,000 kWh per year, which is enough for the energy policy of around 6 families.

Challenging hiking trails lead to this location.

Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention of the human spirit of discovery, the origins of which can be traced back to times long past. Thanks to such a construction, human or animal muscle power could be easily replaced by the power of the natural elements through a watercourse - natural or artificially created - in order to grind grain into corn or press oil from fruit, for example. There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills: * Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or * the water is guided above the wheel - usually through a so-called "mill channel" - and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity.

The Fondry des Chiens is a sinkhole in the Viroin-Hermeton Natural Park, located in the municipality of Viroinval, sub-municipality of Nismes, in the Calestienne. This natural phenomenon is a true masterpiece of Mother Nature and has no equal in our country. Over millions of years, water has carved a huge hole in the hard limestone. In some places this hole can be up to 20 meters deep. The rocks in the pit have impossibly soft curves and make it a spectacular sight. Protection: The entire area is integrally protected and is classified as a natural monument. Next to the Fondry des Chiens there is a beautiful calcareous grassland, where thousands of blue flower heads of the rare bollard flower stand out in the spring.
