A loop starting from Dinant towards the Moniat rocks, offering a magnificent view of the Meuse valley

A walk for those nostalgic for the little mountains, with their valleys, plateaus and streams spanned by old stone bridges. A walk for lovers of calm and nature. And as a gift for children, lots of animals: hens, roosters, ducks, buzzards, goats, sheep and, with a little patience, squirrels and roe deer in the woods... A visit to the Tower will bring a hint of culture.

This is a fairly challenging walk that allows you to discover the hill of Petite Hulle, the vast and high slope of Grande Hulle on the edge of the Meuse plateau, as well as the viewpoints of Sibérie and Couleuvrine and the Meuse towpath in Profondeville. The fairly steep slope of the Grande Hulle and the total elevation gain make this hike equivalent to a short climb. The route mainly follows dirt roads and trails. There is little tarmac.

A beautiful hike (just over 3 hours), much appreciated, combining forests, streams, ponds and countryside. You will also be able to admire the castle of Sart-Eustache. There are a few short sections on tarmac, but these are necessary to reach other beautiful sections where the forest dominates. Hunting dates below

"La Fête de Mai in Gesves is a wonderful artistic and human adventure in a rural setting. In 2001, nature and art lovers came up with a bold project: to invite artists from all over the world to create works of art in natural materials in the countryside. The May Festival is now 25 years old! In 25 years, our landscape has been enriched, in Gesves alone, by 136 works of land art. Some have returned to nature, while others still stand proudly for the enjoyment of hikers."Quote from Christian Beelaert, president of Vagabond'art asbl. All these works of art are linked by hiking trails that are accessible all year round.
