About

Trail Walking of 10.6 km to be discovered at Wallonia, Luxembourg, Virton. This trail is proposed by Pascal L.

Description

Cette marche vous conduit aux fameux "Polissoirs de Saint-Mard", en longeant le ruisseau Bruzel, jusqu'à sa source à une alt. de 315 m. Il s'agit de grosses pierres en grès silicieux situés sur la rive gauche du Bruzel (affluent de la Vire). Elles servaient à polir des outils en silex pendant la préhistoire. Les Saint-Mardois les appelaient aussi « les cailloux des sorcières » ou « les pierres aux fées ».
L'accès n'est malheureusement pas facile (en zone privée ou agricole). Il demande d'enjamber des clôtures (barbelés). Le panorama vaut aussi le déplacement.
