Fonds de Quarreux

Amblève has eroded the crumbly schist but has left intact the quartzite blocks.

One of Marcellin la Garde's legends tells that...
In exchange for his soul, Hubert Chefneux, miller of the Fond de Quarreux got from the evil the windmill he was dreaming of. But to save his soul the worried wife hid herself in the mill with in her hands a medal of Notre-Dame de Dieupart.
The mill wheels didn't move and the evil, very angry, made it collapse and huge blocks fell down the mountain to the water.

It would explain the presence of the very hard stones in the river.



A very pleasant walk is proposed on the side of the water.
