RAVeL Ligne 38 Bridge in Thimister

Highlight • Bridge

"Line 38" is the old railway line that crosses the Land of Herve and once connected Chênée with Plombières. Now it is integrated in the RAVeL network and reserved for walkers, joggers, riders and mountain bikers.
She has since turned into one of the most beautiful green roads in Belgium.

n 1873, a few days before the opening of the second section of line 38 from Micheroux to Herve, the Belgian state railways opened line 38, the origin of which is Chênée station. The station is the terminus of the line until January 25, 1875, when the next section of Herve opens at Battice3 station.
Line 38 declined after World War II. The passenger train service was discontinued in 1965. Now you will find the wonderfully accessible bicycle line here.

Fort Battice

Highlight • Historical Site

Fort Battice is a Belgian fortification built after 1934 near the town of the same name, about 20 km east of Liège. The fort was part of the outer ring of fortifications around Liège (French: Position Fortifiée de Liège – PFL 1) and covered the eastern front of the city. It secured several road and railway lines. Eight other forts were within range of its artillery (Wikipedia).

Froidthier

Highlight • Settlement

Froidhier is located on the RAVel cycle path.
The small village of Froidthier used to have a railway connection and the cloth factory of Mathieu SNOECK's family, which employed numerous workers, ensured a certain wealth for the village.

A severe fire destroyed the factory in 1888, forcing the workers to move to the Verviers region.
Today, Froidthier is the greenest part of the municipality of Thimister-Clermont and a popular destination for hikers, especially its hamlets of Corbillon, Winandchamps, Les Trixhes, Bruyères and Chaumont. This name (Chaumont - "chaud" means "hot") is an interesting contrast to the name of the village (Froidthier - "froid" means "cold").
