SPRINGS PATH
Chemin des Sources |stage n°6 JALHAY - LA GILEPPE - JEHANSTER
The easiest stage of the hike. However, don't hike with a full backpack in order to make it easier for you to climb the kissing gates that take us to the lake Gileppe dam. Don't hesitate to climb to the top floor of the panoramic tower to admire the majestic Lion and the wide view of our forests. As you cross the countryside hedgerows, take the time to notice the hillsides of Verviers and the slag heaps of Liege before entering Jehanster village.

The kissing gates route
The "Chemin des échaliers" ("kissing gates route") is an original, long-distance linear route across the grasslands between Jalhay and Aubel. Kissing gates are devices that allow pedestrians to cross a fence or hedge surrounding a meadow without allowing livestock to escape. A kissing-gate can take the form of a ladder, a gate or a turnstile. The oldest ones are made of a "pierre debout" or "pierre dressée" ("standing stone").
