Description by the author

The path takes you along the Samber and its history. Behind you, the Abbey of Floreffe dominates and shines, and it has been doing so for centuries. This oasis of calm manages to remain outside the rat race of the modern world. Along the way, you notice that the industrial era has left its mark on the landscape. The route follows the river and passes by old river branches and inland ports where the aken loaded their cargo: glass from the Glacerie de Floreffe, limestone, or chalk. Today, the valley seems peaceful, but imagine the time when the noise and dust from the coal mines of Floriffoux, Soye, and Franière disturbed the tranquility. Even during a walk, you can recall memories...walloniebelgietoerisme.be/nl/3/doen/erfgoed-en-cultuur/parken-en-kastelen/kastelentochten
