Description
Starting from the Grottes de Goyet, a European-recognized protected natural and heritage complex with prehistoric finds, the Pachis hiking trail takes you past two of the "Most Beautiful Villages of Wallonia": Goyet (the hamlet of Mozet) and Thon (municipality of Andenne). Along the way, you will discover vast wooded areas and vast meadows between Strouvia and the valley of the Samson.
The name "Pachis" derives from the Latin pascere ("grazing") and used to refer to an enclosed meadow or orchard. This designation lives on in a small village north of Goyet, on the western slope of the Samson Valley, which you encounter during the hike.
