Tips from the Community
The exploitation of the Opprebais quarry began during the construction of the Namur-Louvain road around 1755, under the impetus of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria: quartzite was extracted there, a very hard stone mainly used for making paving stones but still present in its natural state in certain areas of the municipality. Some parts of the Opprebais castle-farm are built with quartzite rubble stones. Production stopped for the first time and, in 1935, the quarry was flooded. Activity resumed from 1958 to 1975. The lake, fed by groundwater, is surrounded by rock faces and vegetation. Owned by the Société Wallonne Des Eaux, the quarry is closed to the public: access to the water and swimming are prohibited: the site had to be fenced off to prevent any intrusion as the place is dangerous due to its depth (up to 30m), the water temperature (risk of thermal shock) and the presence of rocks. The place is also known to diving clubs. A path, enhanced by a fitness trail, allows you to walk around it.

Cotacol nr 669. Nice climb. At the end a small piece of cobblestones, then along the farm.

The Gustot mill is the only survivor of the four mills in the village of Opprebais in the 19th century, namely two water mills (the seigneurial mill and the Charlet mill) and two windmills (the Gustot mill and the Gerondalle mill) . The initial mill was built in 1826 by a certain Rosy: it was built of wood on an octagonal plinth made of bricks. It was then rebuilt entirely in brick by millers, the Gustot brothers, on the basis of an authorization received on April 11, 1850. Remained in activity until 1927, it then experienced decline and many degradations. While only part of the tower remained, the mill was bought in 1960 and the new owner carried out its complete restoration: the pivoting cap and the wings were restored during this restoration which took place in 1961- 1962. The Gustot mill and the site it occupies were bought in 1991 by the town of Incourt: the mill underwent a new restoration in 1995-1998 as part of a rural development operation. At the beginning of January 2012, the mill was amputated by one of its wings by a storm. The shell is also damaged as well as some parts of the mechanism. It will be 15 months before the mill finds new galvanized steel wings from Holland. Source: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moulin_Gustot

Beautiful gravel sector through the fields.

Terrible cobbled slope. The cobblestones are not in good shape, which makes this slope nice and heavy.
