Forge de Blaimont

Highlight • Historical Site

The Forge de Blaimont was part of the iron industry that flourished in Virelles from the 15th to the mid-19th century. The forge employed 15 people and had a large forging hammer, the Maka, which was used to crush metals.

Bois de Blaimont

Highlight • Forest

Located in the Chimay region of Belgium, the Bois du Blaimont is known for its beautiful hiking trails and rich natural environment. The forest is famous for its flora and fauna and the absolute peace and quiet that prevails there.
The area is also geologically interesting; the plateau of the Bois du Blaimont consists of a layer of hard limestone, formed from ancient coral reefs about 350 million years ago, when the region was still covered by a tropical sea2. This plateau dominates the Eau Blanche valley and offers beautiful views of the surrounding area, including the Virelles pond and the village.

View over the Étang de Virelles

Highlight • Viewpoint

At this point the dense forest thins out a little and you can enjoy a great view of the Étang de Virelles lake. The Aquascope Virelles is located on the southern shore. In the nature center you can learn a lot about the lake and its animal inhabitants, explore an educational trail, climb up to the raised seats and enjoy a snack in the café with a panoramic terrace. There is also a large playground for children.

You can find more information about the Aquascope at belgien-tourismus-wallonie.de/de/content/das-aquascope-virelles-der-natur-auf-der-spur.
