AJan08

This is truly a leisurely walk, with no significant elevation gain; thesecond half is accompanied by the pleasant sound of running water throughout, and in summer there are plenty of flowers and insects, including beautiful butterflies (this year). It’s particularly lovely in hot weather as the route is shaded or partially shaded all the way; you can even feel a real sense of coolness, along with the scents of flowers and pine trees (in thesecond half).

A walk offering 360° panoramic views and taking you from one valley to another. As well as the Dolmen de la Ganguille, don’t miss the viewpoint over the Audry Valley and Hardoncelle Castle.

A walk for those who wish to stroll through the countryside when it’s not too hot (there aren’t many woods). The village of Barbaise has installed a number of truly welcome features, all with a touch of humour: an exhibition of paintings from different periods in the washhouse, a trail featuring moral lessons from fables accompanied by sculptures around the village, and a flower-filled pond alluding to Brussels’ Manneken-Pis.

A route offering varied landscapes (mill and reservoir, rock folds, woods, meadows) with a view of the Saint-Quentin de Rimogne mine headframe and the hamlet of Bogny with its picnic area.
