25 August 2019 - walk
Go with the spring, between river and stream
Discover the aquatic secrets of Moniat, Freÿr, Waulsort and Hastière during this guided one-day walk.
In the morning we gather in Hastière. Breakfast strenghtens us for our discovery of water’s role in the village, from river life to breweries. The old objects in the Maison du Patrimoine evoque the local industries. Then a pretty walk along the majestic Meuse brings us past the Cascatelles to the ferryman, who transfers us gently to Waulsort.
There, in the Waulsortium, awaits us the exhibition Waulsort, Perles de Meuse, that talks about the tourist past of the village. After the visit we sit down to a fair and nourishing soup lunch at the restaurant of Villa 1900.
Our path continues through the woods to the Castle of Freÿr. We visit the gardens with their ponds and – exclusively – the source La Rochette. Next we continue through the woods of Freÿr to Moniat, the tiny hamlet with the remains of a 16th century blast furnace and little lemonade and fruit juice factories. We conclude our day with a snack and a drink set against the murmuring water of the Moniat. Afterwards a bus takes us back to the starting point.

9 June 2019 - walk
Springs of life in Moniat and Freÿr
An industrial site and a castle, what can be more different? And yet, the histories of Moniat and Freÿr are closely intertwined. Not only did Moniat belong to the fief of Freÿr, the attraction and riches of both flow forth from their springs close by. Join us and discover how industry leads to relaxation and how well-oiled a machine a castle is.
We start by visiting the 18th century blast furnace and the exhibition The water from Monia to Jaffa. Next we stroll through the hamlet in search of the hidden remnants of the bygone industries. Then we walk through an old forest path to the Chemin des Bateliers and descend to La Rochette, the spring of Freÿr. At the end of the road, on the banks of the Meuse, the castle and gardens of Freÿr await us in all their glory. A walk along the old railroad takes us back to Moniat.
After the walk you can dine in restaurant "Le Vieux Waulsort", where a special menu is offered at the price of € 25,00 (aperitif on the house).

Moniat, a hamlet between rock and river
Until 1980 the tiny hamlet of Moniat was an animated site, nourished by the clear water of the subterranean stream bearing the same name. Embark on a surprising tour along unsuspected industries and relaxing nature.
We start by visiting the 18th century blast furnace and the exhibition The water from Monia to Jaffa. Next we stroll through the hamlet in search of the hidden remnants of the bygone industries. Then we quicken our pace and walk through an old forest path to the top of the Moniat rocks, where we are dazzled by the glorious view.
After the walk you can dine in Villa 1900, where a special menu is offered at the price of € 25,00.
