Mountain biking through the Herbeumont forest | near the castle ruins

Start from the disused Bertrix-Herbeumont-Muno track line (used to bring supplies to German troops in Verdun during WW1).

It became the "voie des pierres qui parlent"(trail of the talking stones), a pleasant stroll with didactic panels explaining how rich the Bertrix region was when it relied on the slate industry.

Just before Saint-Médard, the path takes you into the forest. Impressively large, it features superb beech trees and an enchanting stream, the Antrogne.

A superb descent guides you down towards the Semois, you may glimpse a few white herons or even a beaver.
