Description    English  ·  Français

These rocks that you will find on a height of 300 m above sea-level are the remains of the first marine shore where the Ardennes soil arose from the sea.
They are formed of quartzite and shale boulder.
They are named in honour of Mr. J. N. Crahay, General Manager of the Forestry Commission, thanks to whom the Ninglinspo site was protected and classified.

Park your car at N 50° 28.114 E 005° 44.631.
Walk upstream into the valley of the Ninglinspo.
Please use local ways and paths, don’t try to get a straight access to the rocks. Even the paths are very, very steep.

The cache is hidden at N 50° 27.813 E 005° 44.844.

If you want to search for the other cache hidden in this valley, don’t return to your car, but follow the red-white rectangular sign on many trees.

Found 24 February 2020 broiler found the geocache

After visiting the caves of Remouchamps we need a nice trip through the valley of Ninglinspo and back over the rocks of Crahay. Today it was a muddy trip but we enjoyed it very much. We searched a long time for this one. I think, the box is 20 meters away from the spoiler picture.

Found 01 November 2007 vampirhummel found the geocache

On the way to "Une autre vallée" we decided to make a small detour and fetch this one. If Mrs Vampirhummel would have known how much we had to climb for this one, she would have waited on the foot of the hill - but lucky her that she joined for this cache, so that she could find this cache! While she recovered from the climbing, Mr Vampirhummel logged the cache and we proceeded to the highlight of the day...

Thanks for the gorgeous view over the valley!

Found 30 August 2003 Blinky Bill found the geocache

Arrived around 10.30 - parking was quite empty at that time. Followed the river upwards as far as possible. Last 150m are Malamute-style [:)].
We found the box within a minute.
It was a very pleasant walk and an beautiful surrounding. On our way back we saw groups of hikers walking upstream and we met another geocacher which was Speerpunt which didn't know at the this time. See log of To be fond of ....
Thanks for this one, Cooks [:P]
