The patronage "Annunciation of Mary" (or in another spelling: Mariä Verkündigung) of this church refers to one of the many memorial or feast days in honor of the Mother of God, Mary. The Feast of the Annunciation to Mary (liturgical designation: Annunciation of the Lord) is celebrated on March 25th, exactly 9 months before Christmas. This is because it refers to the message that the angel of the Lord brought her: that she was to give birth to the Son of God – Jesus Christ. According to the report in the 1st chapter of the Gospel of Luke, this happened in Nazareth (Israel). There, at the site where this – according to a tradition of around two thousand years – is said to have occurred, stands a large church, which can therefore be considered the 'original patronage church' for the title of the local house of worship.

The pleasant path runs between Bois Dreût Thier and Thier Moulu. "Thier" translates as "hill" or "small hill." The path does indeed have some relief, with beautiful views of the wider area at both slightly higher ends. The lower section, lined with trees and shrubs, also offers lovely views.

A really nice place to have a drink after your walk (open Wednesday and Sunday)

It is striking that the victims mentioned on the monument, three from the First and two from the Second World War, did not fall here, but - with one exception, who died in Harderwijk in the Netherlands - fell one by one in West Flanders (De Panne, Adinkerke, Kuurne, Tielt). www.tracesofwar.nl

In Fumal, two historic buildings stand out: Fumal Castle and Saint-Remy Church. Fumal Castle is a medieval fortified manor house, with later extensions, which was once the power base of local lords and still dominates the village skyline. Saint-Remy Church is a Gothic-Renaissance church, with elements from various periods, and has been the religious center of the village for centuries. Together, they are important witnesses to Fumal's history and heritage.

Along the Méhaigne River, at the bridge between Moha and Huccorgne, stands a small but significant war memorial. It commemorates the inhabitants of the valley hamlet who died during the First and Second World Wars, often civilians and resistance fighters from the immediate area. The Méhaigne Valley was a strategic crossing at the time, leading to regular checks, arrests, and confrontations around the bridge. The simple, understated monument preserves the names of those who lived here and never returned. In its simplicity, it serves as a quiet reminder of a small community that felt the war particularly hard.

The watermill was mentioned in 1678, burned down in 1696, and rebuilt. The mill remained in operation until 1955. The metal center-shot wheel is located under a canopy. The beautiful building complex has been renovated and extensively remodeled. A municipal walking path has been created around it. The mill has been equipped with an alternator to generate electricity by its current owner (from the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg), but is rarely in operation.
