Limbourg: family walk

The Yellow Diamond Walk is an ideal family walk. It takes you along easy paths, surrounded by vast meadows, to meet the rural world of today. Start at the foot of the Sainte-Anne chapel, built in the 16th century, at a place called Halloux.

The rural world of our regions has undergone changes that are reflected in the villages of today. From the 16th century onwards, the farms were dispersed and livestock farming became more important. The meadows enclosed by hedges contained the livestock. The grassland bocage was established throughout the region. From the 18th century onwards, thatch and wooden buildings gave way to more durable materials such as stone and brick. Built in two parallel structures, the farms, which in the past consisted of a dwelling, a stable and a dairy, have now often been converted into private homes.

Magnificent examples of this rural heritage await you during your walk, including the Grande Halloux farm with its porch and private courtyard, the Goronnes farm on the edge of the Hèvremont road, the old Colinet bakery with its small Halleur pot or, at the end of your route, the Petite Halloux farm decorated with a stone engraved with a chronogram.
