B - Walking. The ridges of Frahan Voir sur la carte

This walk follows the ridge of Frahan, on the banks of the Semois. Here, you find yourself at the centre of a tableau: the village is without doubt one of the loveliest scenes in the valley. The path criss-crosses a beautiful forest, scattered with piles of rocks and stunted vegetation. Roots twist and coil among the rocks: mineral and vegetal combine along this vertiginous path. As you go up, you will discover rocks forming natural or artificial walls. This superb site may lie on a rocky spur, but an imposing fortress nevertheless had to be built there…

Make sure you are properly equipped! Hiking shoes are strongly recommended!

Work is said to have started on the construction of the fortified castle in Montragut well before the time of Godfrey, here where you are walking across these slippery stones.
