Chassepierre : Découverte des incontournables

In the heart of the Muno forest, a stone's throw from the French border, lies an exceptional geological curiosity: the Roche à L'Appel. It rises to an altitude of 360 meters and offers a beautiful panorama of the surrounding forests, inviting contemplation.

Perched at an altitude of 365 meters, the Rocher du Hat is a natural promontory located between Florenville and Chiny. From its summit, a spectacular view unfolds over the meanders of the Semois River and the surrounding countryside. The site is accessible via a pleasant hike and is the perfect spot for a picnic, allowing you to fully savor the moment.

The main attraction in Chassepierre is the Le Trou des Fées . It's a network of troglodytic galleries carved directly into the rock several thousand years ago. This mysterious place is open to visitors and is connected to the cellars of the nearby presbytery. Children love it, and...
Fans of local legends too!

" Antrogne " means "valley" or "sunken lane." It's the perfect name to describe this little piece of land nestled on the banks of the Semois River! Several walks start from Antrogne and Herbeumont and will take you past the breathtaking Conques viaduct, soaring 40 meters high. This former railway line, dating from the 20th century, is no longer in use but remains quite impressive. You can also explore the Sentier des Songes, a forest path adorned with several mysterious statues.

The Breux footbridge crosses the Semois and will allow you to have a beautiful view of the "Iles de Laiches", islands of wet meadows classified as Natura 2000 dotting this bend of the river.

Finally, two viewpoints are essential to admire all facets of Chassepierre: the natural viewpoint of Libaipire and the viewpoint on the Florenville-Bouillon road offer an unobstructed view of the village of Chassepierre and the meander of the Semois.

Chassepierre will also appeal to adventurers! From Chiny, it's possible to kayak down the Semois River to Lacuisine, Florenville, or Chassepierre.
