Clairefontaine: The witch's plateau

There are three hikes near the Clairefontaine site.

At the start of this walk, you will see the old apostolic school of Clairefontaine: a large complex of roughcast buildings adorned with cut stone set in a vast wooded park. You will cross a luxuriant nature reserve on the Plateau de la Sorcière (Witch’s Plateau) and at Mont Karlsberg, which was inhabited in the Middle Ages. Varied landscapes all along the route.

Not far from there, don’t miss the Clairefontaine site: the Notre-Dame du Bel Amour chapel, the remains of the Abbey, the Saint-Bernard spring, the crypt and the tomb of Ermesinde, as well as the garden of aromatic plants set in peaceful surroundings.

Start: old apostolic school of Clairefontaine (rue du Cloître – 6700 Arlon).
