First, you walk between meadows on the outskirts of the village of Longfaye. It is quiet, with barely any cars to disturb the peace. Even more so as you turn into the old sunken road. A mysterious atmosphere will immediately envelop you, as if you had entered another realm – the realm of fantasy. As you walk past strangely shaped trees, you can make out faces, human shapes and animals in their trunks and branches. Soon, the path enters a tree-lined avenue that offers soothing shade on warm summer days. The forests around here are typical of the Ardennes region.
A narrow path leads down the Bayehon waterfall. The noise it makes can be heard from afar, pulling you towards it. Just before you get there, the path becomes criss-crossed by tree roots. At last, you reach the cool water. If the river that feeds it contains enough water, it falls spectacularly over the black rocks. Climb down to the shore and dip your toes into the chilly water. Build towers out of rocks and pebbles, or try using the rocks as stepping stones.
