Le Hérou

The "Hérou", a splendid and mysterious site, boasts some particularly steep rocks and is home to a number of little nuggets in terms of footpaths.

Visited by Victor Hugo in 1862, this site was listed in 1937 and recognised as "Outstanding natural and unusual heritage of Wallonia" for its unique landscape interest. The view from Le Hérou or from the surrounding paths offers authentic landscapes of the Ourthe and its many wooded meanders. The entire site is, of course, classified as "Natura2000". 

The site is very special in terms of the flora and fauna it shelters, with specific biotopes, a beautiful variety of ferns, mosses and lichens, the rare wall lizard, the orvet, the smooth coronelle and beautiful botanical varieties.
