The night of the witches

The witch of Vieux-Waleffe

In the Hesbaye village of Vieux-Waleffe, the legend of Appolonie, the witch with the golden hoof, is still very much alive! In the Middle Ages, the poor lady was accused of witchcraft after a sick horse died on her doorstep. She was burnt at the stake, where the Bon Secours chapel now stands. A strange, mystical place, shaded by six beautiful lime trees. To find out more about this Hesbaye legend, put on your walking shoes and venture out on the trails of Vieux-Waleffe, for an easy 8 km walk.
