ATTENTION: The bridge broke down and is not useable anymore. In dry season it is possible to walk around the bridge. But when the water from the lake is rising, it is not safe to cross.

In the middle of the Ardennes forest, the Vieilles Forges lake brings variety to the forest landscape. A nice stop during a mountain bike outing.

The French Ardennes are a beautiful nature reserve, they are no higher than about 500 m and the northern part in particular is densely wooded, so don't be shocked if you meet such a beautiful wild boar.

Beautiful bridge over the Faux. The Faux is a tributary of the Maas and is approximately 19 km long.
