The Charmille du Haut-Marais, dating from the 19th century, is now listed by the Royal Commission for Monuments and Sites.The arbour was built in 1855 by J.R. Nys, a rentier and owner of the estate.

Whilst Theux is well known to walkers for its magnificent Bois de Staneu, the countryside on the heights of the Hoëgne and around La Reid is equally impressive.This circular walk takes you through the north-western part of the area, which is hilly and wonderfully green.

Starting from the car park at Domaine de Bérinzenne, the hike begins by crossing the site before gradually entering the forest for just over a third of its total distance. This is followed by a few kilometres of countryside around the village of Creppe before rejoining the forest at the bottom of the Bois de Mambaye. After passing the castle of the same name, which has been converted into a nature education centre, the route quickly joins the Meyerbeer stream and follows it upstream to the Fontaine de Géronstère, one of the many springs in the spa town. Food and refreshments are available on site. Return through the forest and uphill to the starting point.

Whilst the two highlights of this walk are mentioned in the title, the rest of the route is through woodland and offers some fine views of the opposite slope and Mont des Brumes.Starting from the Domaine de Bérinzenne, the route heads due south, crosses the old Vecquée and descends towards Andrimont, where it turns eastwards to reach Chevrouheid and the Pont de Neuville over the Roannay stream.The walk follows the course of the Roannay for a good two kilometres, crossing numerous footbridges, and leaves it shortly before its source.This is followed by a bit of a winding route through a well-ventilated forest alternating between spruce and deciduous trees before reaching Malchamps.After the pylons, the route enters the Fagne de Malchamps via a path through the Vecquée covered with wooden decking to keep your feet dry. The Fagne landscape is guaranteed (moors, marshes, peat bogs, pools, shrubs and native flora) both from the path and from the top of the panoramic observation tower.
