Durbuy Bridge - 1725
Highlight • Bridge
The bridge and the mill disappear in 1909. A new, wider bridge is built, but it is destroyed in 1940 by the Belgian army.
The current bridge dates from 1954. Three construction dates are engraved on the bronze cross in the middle of the bridge.

Coléoptère Cave
Highlight • Cave
The cave of the "Coléoptère" in Juzaine - Bomal is classified among the most interesting caves in Belgium from the point of view of the discoveries made there by eminent archaeologists, namely in 1923-24. English, Polish, American and Belgian scientists and specialists have worked there.
"Coléoptère" comes from a pendant in the shape of a cockchafer that was discovered during the first excavations. This object was deposited at the Cinquantenaire Museum in Brussels.

Former meander of the Ourthe
Highlight • Natural
It is the Recollects sisters who in 1725 ordered that the meander around the city be drained in order to have more grounds and for hygienic reasons.
The meander explains the existence of the "Vieux Pont" (old bridge).
In the past, what is now the "Place aux Foires" was under water. Then the water ran past the wall of the Recollects and further along the foot of the Antclinale.
Now the old meander is full of steel carriages that stroll around the old center. Numerous eateries were built on the old meander bank.
