The panorama of Frahan and the loop of the Semois

Description

Source: https://www.luxembourg-belge.be

This site is classified as a major heritage site in Wallonia. Laid out over 300 m in length, along the asphalt road, Frahan's point of view challenges by the magnitude of the landscape that opens up to the eyes of the spectator.

Since the disappearance of the campsites and the renovation of the hamlet carried out as part of a Life project to develop the landscapes of the Moyenne Semois, the site has regained all its authenticity. An Ardennes house with its awning is classified. The overhead power lines were put underground, the wash house was restored, as well as a bus shelter built of Ardennes schist.
One of the campsites, close to the 1926 footbridge, has been replaced by a children's farm. Tobacco dryers recall the culture that flourished here for a hundred years, starting in 1852, when Joseph Pierret, a teacher in the nearby village of Alle, grew his first tobacco plants in his garden.

The panorama of Frahan is also the slate quarries of the Crows, once staggered on three floors and which have become a national nature reserve for bats. The woods observed on the left and right are classified and there is an obligation to maintain native hardwoods, oaks and beech, maples and ashes, hornbeams and coudriers, elms and birches.

At our feet, the forest grows on the place called "Notre Dame", as if to exorcise the village opposite where Frahan could have housed a Freya Haus, a temple dedicated to the pagan worship of the Germanic goddess Freya.
Here a paragliding take-off area is still functional.

Frahan is still the famous Ridges of Frahan, crossed by the long-distance hiking trail. There is a series of rocks with escapes to the valley, a natural cave and the ruins of the ancient castle of Montragut.
