Wéris is a small village in the borough of Durbuy. The village is situated in a green area within walking distance of the megalithic sites and sceneries with beautiful views. Weris is listed by the association "Plus Beaux Villages de Wallonie" as one of the most beautiful villages of Wallonia.

The village is known for its megaliths: the Dolmen of Wéris and the Dolmen of Oppagne several menhirs, including the Menhir Danthine and Menhir of Morville. The Pierre Haina (the stone of the ancients) is a natural by humans modified rock that is regularly painted white. It is visible from a large part of the valley. Nearby lies the Devil's bed (Lit du Diable), a natural piece of pudding stone. These megaliths are between 4800 to 5000 years old.

They are made of pudding stone, a common sedimentary rock in the region, a mixture of gravel and sandstone.

The two dolmens of Wéris, the menhirs, the Pierre Haina and the Devil's bed form a line pattern which is believed to have an astronomical significance. The line between the Pierre Haina and the dolmen of Wéris is the line of the sunrise during the equinox.
