Saint Bartholomew Church, Oignies-en-Thiérache

Highlight • Religious Site

And again in Belgium. Oignies-en-Thiérache.

We are in the land of the old Principality of Liège. The municipality of the Ardennes department was incorporated into the province of Namur in 1815.

This village was called the "village of the widows" because the men worked there in the slate quarries, the dust of which causes the same disease as that of the miner, silicosis.

Regniessart Washhouse

Highlight • Monument

Semi-buried washhouse covered with a timber-framed roof decorated with festoons. In the 19th
century, washhouses served an important social function. They were one of the few places where women could exchange ideas. Washing clothes was also physically very strenuous. Therefore, practicing this activity collectively made it more bearable.
Contrary to popular belief, washhouses most often allowed washerwomen not to wash clothes, but to rinse them.

Ry de Rome Dam

Highlight • Monument

From the dam, you can take the Ry de Rome Dam loop trail. You can enjoy views of the water and the forest, and cross the dam itself, which gives you an exceptional viewpoint.

Vicinal road

Highlight • Trail

Ravel with a gentle slope. Pleasant for traveling from Olloy to Oignies by road or city bike. For mountain bikes, other paths are much nicer.

Forest path in Parc national de l’Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Lost, not for everyone :-) It's a portion of GR and a path to Compostela. But very nice on a mountain bike. The challenge: pass the heals without getting your socks wet!
