Stone Bridge Over the Ton

Highlight • Bridge

The Ton is a river, running for 31.7 km, in southern Belgium and northeastern France, a right-bank tributary of the Chiers, part of the Meuse watershed. It rises in Châtillon, crosses Gaume (Virton region), in the south of the province of Luxembourg, and flows into the Chiers shortly after Écouviez on the Franco-Belgian border.

Trou du Pérou Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The origin of the place's name is mysterious. According to some, this name comes from a transcription of the name "Trou du Perdu" (Perisher's Hole). Amidst pine trees, heather, and blueberry bushes, this place represents a steep landscape where the Fourneau stream has shaped a gorge with a waterfall. A little higher up, a waterfall has formed and accentuates the erosion downstream. Above, the stream trickles over a slab of black sandstone. This formed above a significant layer of waterproof marl that stopped the infiltration of the sand present here to above it. A beautiful waterfall has formed due to the presence of the stream and the erosion that followed.

Cron de Montauban

Highlight • Natural Monument

The site extends about 2 km south of the village of Buzenol, on the left side of the Gros Ruisseau valley, in a largely forested environment (beech grove, among others). The cron, name given to the petrifying limestone springs, currently appears as a steeply sloping clearing facing south and tumbled down by rivulets with crystal clear water, which are fed by two springs located a little below the archaeological park of Montauban . There is remarkably contrasting vegetation and ecological conditions: thus an arid calcareous grassland with blue sesleria (Sesleria caerulea), an alkaline marsh with molinia (Molinia caerulea), dry or wet rocky slabs, a sedge meadow rub shoulders over a short distance. with scaly sedge (Carex lepidocarpa), pioneer thickets of willow (Salix spp.) and buckthorn (Frangula alnus), thermophilic preforest fringes, etc. The flora includes many rare species such as parnassia (Parnassia palustris) and flea sedge (Carex pulicaris), both highly threatened in Wallonia. The local fauna is just as remarkable: the site is, for example, the favorite habitat of a rare dragonfly, the bidentate cordulegaster (Cordulegaster bidentatus), whose larvae develop in the thin streams of water. On this same slope there are several other crons also very interesting but largely under forest cover.

Old Buzenol Railway Station

Highlight • Monument

This station was located on the old railway line 155 which linked Marbehan to Ecouviez (F) via Virton.
It was decommissioned in 1938. The abolition of the line followed a good ten years later, in 1951.
It was converted into a nature center thanks to a professor from Ghent, Doctor Van Oye, a nature enthusiast, who rented the building to the SNCB.
In the 1960s, it developed to become the Center de Buzenol, an educational service of the Royal Institute of Natural Sciences of Belgium, under the leadership of Edmond Fouss, promoter of Gaume heritage and founder of the Gaume Museum in Virton .
This project even gained momentum thanks to the former mayor of Ethe Elie Deworme in the years that followed. A new building was built between the old station and the Farm of Bâr to allow the accommodation of green classes.
Currently, this center is incorporated into the educational structure of the Ecole Normale de Virton.
