In a green refuge of woods, orchards and pastures, at the bottom of a valley fed by the clear water of the Bola, you can find SOIRON, land of rowan trees. Situated in a rich valley between two ridges, DEIGNÉ is set around its church and its main square, flanked by its fountain and follows the typical Condrozian
relief. FERRIÈRES is a green and calm village which enjoys a rich architectural heritage of manorial farms and dwellings. At the junction of the Ourthe and Amblève rivers, COMBLAIN-AU-PONT takes its name from the latin "confluentes" (junction). The hamlet of FORÊT is perched on a bare 'mountain' near Trooz. The pretty, twisty road which leads there reminds you that you are in the hill country.
