View of the ruins of Dourbes Castle

Highlight • Castle

From the shores of Viroin, you can look up to the castle ruin of Dourbes. The romantic ruin towers high above the river on a rocky ridge overlooking the wooded mountainsides.

If you like, you can also climb up to the castle and visit the old walls.

Mediterranean landscape

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

On the limestone plateau above the town of Nismes you walk across open dry grasslands and along fragrant pine trees - a very unusual landscape for the Ardennes. The porous, limestone-rich soil provides for this special vegetation: rainwater seeps faster and therefore mainly dry and warm loving plants and animals have settled here.

Moulin Guillaume

Highlight • Monument

This water mill, located downstream of the 'Zwarte Water' and below the Mousty mountain, was mentioned in 1609 as a ban mill: the local residents were obliged to have their grain milled by the appointed miller. It was owned by the Licot family in the 18th century. In 1850 she gave the mill to a certain Guillaume. The mill worked until 1928, when it was dismantled in an electricity cabin.
The watermill has been generating green electricity since 2013. it is a project of the municipality and the Parc Naturel. 600 liters of water per minute passes by, which should be enough to generate 30,000 kWh per year. the electricity equivalent of 6 families. The conversion cost 60,000 €.
