Nice walk. Don't do it if it has rained a lot. It will be slippery and dangerous.

La Table des Fées, located in the Semois natural park, is an impressive rock pedestal. Naturally formed, this structure evokes a giant table surrounded by local legends: it was used for the antics of fairies, chased from the Hultai hill in Auby.

Lovely place to relax, 100 metres above the Semois and the village of Poupehan. At the end of the 11th century, the famous Picard monk Pierre Lermite is said to have urged the inhabitants of Poupehan to join the crusaders.

The Fairy Table is a mysterious slab of stone said to be the meeting place of fairies. From here you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Semois. The path is marked with yellow diamonds and starts from the Bohan church. Prepare to take steep and narrow paths, but also to live an enriching and enchanting experience.

Vadertje Haak originated from the fear of mothers to lose their children in rivers or wells. To convince children not to swim alone, the Belgians have created a terrifying legend: that of Pépé Crochet, a lake monster who catches children in the water with the help of his hook-shaped hands. What does his legend tell us? One day, a woman sends her 8-year-old child to fetch water from the well. It was winter and it was getting dark. After some time, the mother is concerned that the boy has not returned. She goes looking for him and finds him at the well, wrestling with a monster with a hook that tries to drag the boy into the well. The mother fought hard to free and retrieve her son. He will stay off the water for the rest of his life!
