Death Path Corumont - La Roche-en-Ardenne

A beautiful walk over the mountain of Corumont with a beautiful view of the Ourthe valley in La Roche towards Hotton.

This path used to be used by the inhabitants of Harzé to transport their dead to the cemetery of Bérismenil, so as not to have to pay the tax on the road via La Roche.
This road connected the Roman road through Beausaint to La Roche. On the hill opposite the Ourthe is King Pepin's chair, from which he judged or rested after long hunting trips.

A legend tells that a girl who wants to get married has to go around the stone 3 times on the same day. One day, a young unbelieving girl goes around the stone 9 times . She was called the woman with the three men . Due to the construction of the road of le Chalet, the stone has disappeared , only a children's song is left that is still sung today. A monotonous song "al tchèyîre do rwé Pépin mi, mi, re, re, re, re, mi, mi, mi, re, re, re", sung by a group of toddlers, circling two children carrying a third child on the clasped hands in the courtyard of the primary school, noisy from the screams as the "king" jumps to the floor.
