The southern head of the tunnel was blown up on August 3, 1914 by the Belgian army to prevent the passage of the Germans with their material. This was done to protect the fortresses near Liège, but the last fortresses fell on August 16, 1914. On May 10, 1940, the Belgian army mined the tunnel again and large parts of it fell. In 1941, the Germans replaced the tunnel with an open trench with a bridge, which lasted until 1952.

Beware of tastes

Highlight • Historical Site

The old train station seems to have been preserved to some extent, but the parked train carriages and the old car have seen better days. I especially feel sorry for the car.

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").

Highlight • Cycleway

Regional market on Tuesdays and Sundays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
A few kilometers from the municipality of Plombières, discover the Aubel market with lots of local products and a charming atmosphere, especially on Sunday mornings.
The market has a reputation for quality, known far beyond the borders of Belgium.
