The three menhirs in Oppagne are part of the exceptional ensemble of megalithic monuments that are dotted across the council of Durbuy, covering an area that is over 8km long and 300 m wide. They date back to 5,000 years ago, the era of the first Neolithic famers.
The word ‘menhir’ comes from the Breton word ‘men’ meaning stone, and ‘hir’ meaning long. The menhirs in Oppagne are 2 to 2,7 m high. They are in puddingstone – a naturally occurring rock akin to cement – a rock that was quarried and put to use locally until the First World War.

The megalithic site in Wéris stretches out over 8km and is 300m wide. As far as we know, it consists out of two dolmens (= burial chambers), with two menhirs standing in front and several blocks of stone scattered around, as well as 6 locations where you can admire menhirs (standing stones).

Nestling in the heart of a beautiful verdant valley, with two babbling brooks winding their way through the village, Ny boasts many traditionally built and beautiful houses and elongated farm houses, most of which date back to the 19th century.www.famenneardenne.be/en/hades_offre/ny-one-of-the-most-beautiful-villages-of-wallonia/
