Unveil the hidden gems of Quévy, Hainaut, Hainaut

Take a stroll through the old mining landscapes of the Borinage region, which has since become green and idyllic landscape. Go towards the exterior mining shaft dominating towering 100 meters high: this steel monster represents the dominance of the mining industry in the Borinage region in the 19th century. Shortly after using part of the RAVeL network, you travel through country lanes, towards Ciply, which would have represented the border between two worlds in the day: that of peasant life and that of the mining. Further on, the path winds through scrub and bushes, covering an old coal mine. At the edge, the fields and meadows lead you to small houses which seem crushed by the mass of the “Héribus” slag heap that you’ll climb. On the slope, a magnificent broom covers the slag heap: nowadays, the slag heaps have become havens of peace for an exuberant flora and fauna. You return to Frameries by taking the old railway lines through which coal once passed: they have become formidable escapades in this landscape marked by this moving industrial past. During this hike, you actually take a section of the GR "Sentier des Terrils"

L’entrée méridionale du village de Mesvin est signalée par la présence de prairies ceintes d’un mur de clôture en briques et pierre blanche du pays. Ces prairies et vergers servent de cadre aux anciens bâtiments de l’abbaye de Bethléem, dite de Bélian, fondée au XIIIe siècle par le chanoine de Saint-Germain de Mons, Gautier ou Wauthier Hard(o)uin. Cette fondation accueillera des religieuses augustines jusqu’en 1796. Les bâtiments conventuels tels qu’ils ont traversé le temps se composaient d’une demeure classique de la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle, vestige du quartier de l’abbesse, aménagée en habitation de plaisance au début du XIXe siècle et réaménagée à la fin du même siècle. D’autres dépendances encore debout ont été englobées dans des bâtiments de ferme au XIXe siècle, transformés, à cette époque, en brasserie-distillerie. Certaines de ces anciennes dépendances ont depuis été transformées en habitations. Classée comme site le 30 septembre 1981

Spiennes was the site of flint mining between 4400/4200 and 3000/2500 BC, and is one of the most important European sites for extraction of thisstone - which has led to its inclusion on the UNESCO  World Heritage List - not only because of the existenceof successive dwellings near the mines, but also because of the variety of mining techniques used. Some of these are actually rather spectacular, such as extraction via the controlled collapse of entire slabs, which enabled largeblades and axes to be produced, some of which were “exported” to northern France. Archaeological site listed by Ministerial Decree of the Walloon Region (7-11- 1991) Listed as an exceptional heritage site of Wallonia World Heritage listed in December 2000
