The Aisne Tourist Tramway and its Museum: ticket office at the departure point
The Megaliths Museum in the centre of the village of Wéris
Durbuy
The Ourthe Valley
Megaliths – whether dolmens (covered passageways) or menhirs (standing stones) – are abundant in this region, where one comes across boulders that could well have been added to the collection at any bend in the forest path. One question remains: how on earth did our Neolithic ancestors manage to move, erect or stack these enormous boulders, some weighing up to 10 tonnes?
The Aisne Tourist Tram, on the other hand, is much more recent, dating from the 1960s, following the permanent closure of the local railway line from the first half ofthe 20th century, which linked the stations at Comblain-la-Tour and Melreux via Manhay.
