Slope of Goats, Nature reserve in Sougné-Remouchamps, Belgium.

The Slope of Goats extends over sixty hectares along the right bank of the Amblève River, featuring a vertical rock face between Remouchamps and Aywaille.

The area received official protection status in 1989, marking a milestone in preserving the natural heritage of the Wallonia region for future generations.

The name derives from local Walloon language, reflecting the long-standing practice of using goats for vegetation management in this limestone-rich environment.

Visitors should bring water and snacks as the reserve lacks immediate facilities, while comfortable hiking shoes are essential for exploring the rocky terrain.

The reserve houses the Aywaille houseleek, a plant species that grows on the cliff faces and has gained recognition in international botanical research.
