페임스 최고의 라이딩 경로

Landen에서 Statte까지 이어지는 127번 노선에 있던 Braives의 옛 기차역은 Braives 지자체에 의해 커뮤니티 센터, 도서관, 놀이터가 있는 즐거운 야외 공간을 갖춘 역동적인 만남의 장소로 재탄생했습니다. 옛 화물 야적장에서는 현재 주간 시장이 열립니다. 기차역 건물은 127번 노선에서 유일하게 원래 상태 그대로 보존되어 있는 건물입니다.

A really nice place to have a drink after your walk (open Wednesday and Sunday)

Please note that the second part of the walk is inaccessible due to the quarry expansion. There are no signs indicating the direction of travel. A sign from the town indicates the change in the local road where you rejoin the trail. Information should be provided at each end to avoid unnecessary backtracking.

Since 1965, the Oteppe castle and its surrounding estate (65 ha) have been run as a holiday centre ("L'Hirondelle") with a hotel, campsite, holiday chalets and bungalows, swimming pools, playground and fishing ponds; as a result, the village's population has almost doubled during the summer months.

This fortified dovecote, built in 1625 by the Mollin-Monjoye couple, served as a small fort intended to protect the local population during the passage of troops. Source: Information board on site.

Old stone saw and grain mill on the Mehaigne in Moha. Built in 1807 by the Jehoulet family as a flax mill with a 7-meter diameter overshot wheel, it was later used primarily as a stone saw. The natural stone for the Mardasson Memorial in Bastogne is said to have been cut here. Today, electricity is generated by a Francis and Kaplan turbine.

The church of Celles is probably the only church in Belgium dedicated to Saint Madelberta. To be honest: I had never heard of this saint before. Saint Madelberta was a Merovingian noblewoman who succeeded her deceased sister Aldetrudis as abbess of Maubeuge in 696. Madelberta was venerated quite soon after her death. It is not impossible that the convoy that brought her relics to Liège at the beginning of the 8th century stopped in Celles; after all, Celles was close to the Roman road that led from Bavay to Cologne. I was lucky enough to have a look inside the church. The friendly lady who let me in proudly pointed out the glass cabinet at the front right of the church; it contained relics of various saints (but not of Saint Madelberta?)

The history of Waleffe Castle begins with Jean Curtius (1551-1628) (also known as Jean de Cortes). After monopolizing the gunpowder trade to the Spanish armies of King Philip II, he became a wealthy industrialist. In addition to the gunpowder he brought back on his many voyages from Asia, Curtius also filled his boats with a great deal of Asian art, such as miniature Chinese porcelain vases and rice paper paintings, which can still be seen throughout the castle today. It was Jean Curtius' grandson who had the castle built in 1706 as an extension to a 16th century farm. Today, the castle is still inhabited by the Barons de Potesta de Waleffe, who have cared for the estate for 13 generations and are direct descendants of the great Curtius. Source: waleffe.com
