Froidthier

Highlight • Settlement

Froidhier is located on the RAVel cycle path.
The small village of Froidthier used to have a railway connection and the cloth factory of Mathieu SNOECK's family, which employed numerous workers, ensured a certain wealth for the village.

A severe fire destroyed the factory in 1888, forcing the workers to move to the Verviers region.
Today, Froidthier is the greenest part of the municipality of Thimister-Clermont and a popular destination for hikers, especially its hamlets of Corbillon, Winandchamps, Les Trixhes, Bruyères and Chaumont. This name (Chaumont - "chaud" means "hot") is an interesting contrast to the name of the village (Froidthier - "froid" means "cold").

RAVeL Ligne 38 Bridge in Thimister

Highlight • Bridge

"Line 38" is the old railway line that crosses the Land of Herve and once connected Chênée with Plombières. Now it is integrated in the RAVeL network and reserved for walkers, joggers, riders and mountain bikers.
She has since turned into one of the most beautiful green roads in Belgium.

Fort Battice

Highlight • Historical Site

Fort Battice is a Belgian fortification built after 1934 near the town of the same name, about 20 km east of Liège. The fort was part of the outer ring of fortifications around Liège (French: Position Fortifiée de Liège – PFL 1) and covered the eastern front of the city. It secured several road and railway lines. Eight other forts were within range of its artillery (Wikipedia).

September 7, 2023,🇧🇪 Clermont – Fort Battice Rondje vanuit Aubel

This trip is not pleasant with an E-bike. Too many paths with vegetation and pebbles/stones. It is better to do this tour by mountain bike. However, the steep parts are pleasant with an E-bike
