Very pretty viewpoint, right next to the ruins of Montquintin Castle. Small benches for a pleasant break. Accessible to people with reduced mobility.

This organic communal associative vineyard is a fine example of the typical wine-growing landscapes of Torgny and Gaume.

This small bridge over the Radru River opens onto the beautiful forest and marshland setting of the Raymond Mayné Nature Reserve, near Torgny. This reserve was the first to be created in Belgium.

On the edge of a wooded massif, where the climate is favorable for growing wine, lies Torgny, Belgium's southernmost village. The houses here, built of yellow sandstone with Roman roof tiles, are striking, lending a Mediterranean flair. A truly beautiful sight. No wonder this place is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia.

The remains of Montquintin Castle stand on a ridge overlooking the Ton valley. The once feudal castle was built on the orders of Louis II, Count of Chiny. After a turbulent history, the castle fell victim to a fire in 1869. Since then, it has stood as a ruin high above the Ton river valley.

PLEASE NOTE: on this - beautiful - circuit, after the village of Alondrelle, the path as mentioned on this circuit has become impassable between the meadows. If you go further, from the entrance to the woods towards Torgny, the path is not very suitable for vehicles or even almost impassable by bike if it has rained a lot! A mountain bike is essential!

The ruins of this ancient feudal castle are impressive. They dominate the Ton valley and are currently the subject of a program of archaeological excavations.
