In het bos, door de velden of de stad, langs het water of over rotsachtige bergkammen… Er is voor iedereen een wandeling!

Right beside the castle, a road brings you higher to the heights of Harzé village. At the top, wildflowers flatten under the hot wind. From this special light, which floods the meadows, head towards the half-light in the lovely Saint-Roch Woods, which are adorned with spring tones of soft green. The Ardennes then start in the forest. Descend towards La Levée: a chapel and four sprawling houses make up the hamlet, splendid in its isolation. As you go along the Pouhon stream, discover 1 km to the right the lovely Saint Anne Chapel, situated in a green setting. Its construction dates back without doubt to the 16th century. During this period, the iron industry was a very widespread activity in the region and gave rise to numerous forges and furnaces along the streams and rivers. The driving force of the water wheels activated the bellows which then activated the fires of the furnaces. With the development of this activity, the population increased around Harzé. Then, wishing to have a place of worship, a chapel was constructed near the forges. The itinerary continues and climbs. You will then see the entrance to Ernonheid, a village of crests where the wind blows. In the hollow, where you are better protected from the elements, we reach Trou de Bosson. At the top of the hill, Paradis (meaning paradise or heaven) appears: a really lovely name for a village...
