Here you cross a side arm of the Vesdre with a small bridge. If you choose more excitement (and there is not too much water in it) then you can of course also cross next to the bridge.

Faded industrial glory from the Vesdredal. The autumnal colouring of the Knotweed, which has found its place in the building, brings some colour to the desolate whole.

Church dating from 1926. Somewhat funny how right next to the church is "L'Histoire de Pneus", a tire center.
