The brightness of this village catches the eye. Its rich heritage of buildings, most of which are made of local white Gobertange stone, gives the locality a bright glow.

Traditional buildings and imposing farmhouses with majestic porches, reminders of a seigniorial era, are dotted along the route.

Beautiful sunken paths and the many views over the vast Hesbaye countryside make this walk particularly attractive.
