Les Abannets

Description

The "Abannets" plateau was completely cleared to provide local industries with iron and immense quantities of coal, without which they could not function. Nearly all the trees had been cut down, and sheep and goats were eating the young saplings. To encourage the regeneration of the forest, the Prince-Bishop of Liège, who held power in the region at the time, forbade the inhabitants from bringing their animals to graze on this hill. The name "Abannets" therefore most probably comes from the verb "bannir" ("banish"), a reference to the prohibition on grazing.
