Former Retinne railway station
Highlight • Monument
It was launched in 1872 by the Compagnie des chemin de fer du plateau de Herve. In 1895, it was taken over as well as the Belgian State Railways line and closed in 1957 by the SNCB.
The station building is still standing and there is a restaurant inside. In a recent addition, there are meeting rooms.

Blegny Mine
Highlight • Historical Site
The site's importance lies partly in its transformation into a tourist attraction and industrial heritage site, and partly in the preservation of its two shafts from different periods (19th and 20th centuries), the most recent of which is still in operation and provides access to underground galleries at depths of -30 and -60 meters.

Julienne Ponds
Highlight • Lake
It has its source in Retinne, then crosses the town of Saive, watering the foot of the old castle there. It passes in the bottom of Légipont, then under the E40 motorway and enters a small, partly wooded, rural valley; it forms the Julienne ponds before flowing into the Meuse at Argenteau.
The name evokes Sainte-Julienne de Cornillon, born in Retinne in 1192.
