Icon description route Description

Discover the exceptional heritage of the Forges de Mellier.

This hike combines the natural heritage of the Ardenne forest with the industrial heritage of the Forges de Mellier. At "Cul de l'Oye", you can enjoy a picnic not far from the Jeanty Cross, erected in memory of Jacques Jeanty, who died accidentally on this spot in 1966 at the age of 11. From here, you'll reach the Forges basses de Mellier, where a beautiful little path offers a bird's-eye view of the Forges hautes, before returning to the village.

If you feel like it, take a detour to the Forges hautes, a fine example of the architecture and industrial activity of yesteryear.
