The old Ardennes massif is certainly a land where tales, legends and other mysterious stories flourish in abundance. But the regions that are the subject of this trail guide, more so than anywhere else, seem to particularly fuel the romantic imagination of storytellers and create in both locals and passersby a state of mind receptive to the world of the fantastic.
From the mischievous nutons of the forests to Satan who, in a fit of rage, created the Fonds de Quarreux, from Emprardus the poacher of the Porallée to the macralles bewitching hikers in the woods around Vielsalm, not forgetting the golden-droppings goat from the surroundings of Chevron, many legends haunt these valleys.
But must one want to explain everything when it comes to the Mysterious? Why that emotion, tinged with anxiety and excitement, that grips the hiker when venturing into the valley of the Chefna? Why does the sky, heavy with clouds driven by south-westerly winds, seem more alive when viewed from the heights of Monthouet?
As soon as one frequents these places, the strange takes hold of you.
