20의 필립빌가지 명소 & 주요 장소

You can reach the castle via a "climbing path," which is a bit more challenging but also more adventurous, or via a good path with stairs on the steeper sections. So, it's easily accessible for everyone!

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

Walked past here today. Completely closed off with barbed wire. And inaccessible.

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

Ancient medieval castle. Visitable after a short walk.

“Carrière Prosper” is the name of the place that now houses around twenty climbing routes ranging from level 4C to 7A (more for experienced climbers). Adapting the quarry took around five hundred hours of work. “We have to remove the unstable stones, carefully inspect the quality of the rock and possibly fix it, and only at the end do we start drilling holes to install what we call ‘the pins’, i.e. the belay points,” explains Koen Hauchecorne, head of rocks at the Flemish Climbing Federation (this federation manages this site and a dozen others, and it’s more or less the same for its French-speaking counterpart).

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.
