Discover Beho: Ponds, Nature and Historic Traces

Beho combines a rural landscape with distinctive traces of the past. Green spaces and farms characterise the village, while the Glain and the ponds fed by it create a unique natural setting. If you are looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home in peaceful surroundings, you can plan to use Beho as a starting point for walks, landscape experiences and cultural and historical discoveries.

Nature along the Glain and the ponds of Château des Concessions

The Château des Concessions includes ponds covering an area of 13 hectares, fed by the Glain. The château itself is privately owned; the building is visible from the Beho–Bovigny road. This makes the location a specific viewpoint along the road, without assuming that you have access to the private grounds.

Along the Glain and at the ponds it passes through or has formed, an impressive natural spectacle can be seen in autumn: hundreds of ducks stop here during their migration. This season can therefore add a special scenic highlight to your travel plans. The combination of water surfaces, green spaces and a farming-oriented environment gives Beho its own character, clearly distinguishing it from a purely urban stay.

Paths for active days and peaceful discoveries

From Beho, you can walk along the former railway line “Gouvy – Saint-Vith” in the direction of Gouvy and Maldingen. The historic route offers an opportunity to discover the village on foot while learning about its regional past. As the route is described in two directions, you can tailor your day’s plans to your preferred direction without having to limit your stay to a single circular route.

Another clearly identified option is the “Maison neuve” route. It starts in Beho and is 4.1 km long. This trail can be included as a manageable part of a day during your holiday.

Church, Farm and Border Stones

The history of Beho can also be seen in individual details. The most important furnishings of Saint-Pierre Church were carved from oak between 1713 and 1724 by Jean Georges Scholtus from Bastogne. For those interested in culture, this combination of place, craftsmanship and precise dating provides a notable point of reference when exploring the area.

At Maison Neuve Farm, the engraved date 1775 on the lintel of the recessed entrance to the dwelling points to its historical character. The façade also features a life-size crucifix erected by Jacob Peiffer and Marian Starck in 1804. Numerous boundary stones bearing the coats of arms of the former Prussian Empire are still visible in Beho. Taken together, these details do not create a single museum experience, but rather a series of discoveries that you can include in your tour of the village.

Choosing Beho as a holiday destination

When choosing your accommodation, the right location depends on your preferred pace of travel. Nature observations along the Glain, paths such as the “Maison neuve” route and historical details all favour a stay during which you can spread different experiences over several days. A holiday apartment in Beho is particularly suitable for your plans if the village itself and its rural surroundings are to be the main focus.
