In search of a lost cross in Rendeux

Start at Robert Lenoir Park in Rendeux and head towards Bois d'Arlogne. Once there, the hike passes through Marcouray. Then, from the village, head towards Cielle and descend towards La Boverie to finally follow the Ourthe to Rendeux via Jupille and Marcourt. A beautiful circular route to discover the villages of our municipality!

The hike starts at the end of Rue du Belvédère and crosses the woods to reach the village of Hodister. It then heads towards the site of St-Thibaut. Be sure to admire the view halfway along the route before returning to the starting point.

The deforested hillsides in the Waharday, Chéoux and Hodister area have been repopulated with various species of shrubs, notably broom, which has taken root there in their thousands.When they flower in May, they light up the whole area with their characteristic magnificent yellow colour.The icing on the cake is that the numerous meadows are also illuminated in yellow by buttercups.A real feast for the eyes.

This walk begins by following one of Wallonia's iconic rivers, with some beautiful rocks as a bonus, before offering a pleasant loop through the forests and countryside south of the tourist town.

Limestone and blue stones make up a significant part of the habitat. Rue Haute is a fine example of this. Several limestone houses dating from the 18th century stand side by side. Among these are two listed buildings, the Moulin Faber and the Maison Godenir, which houses the Royal Tourist Office.The Aïve Cave/Neolithic cave, Ti Château/Roman camp, Trou Fré Djame... are other places you will encounter along this route.

This hike, half in the forest and half in the countryside, starts at the car park of Chlorophylle Park, a forest theme park offering recreation, education and art. The path starts between the reception building, restaurant, terrace, toilets and souvenir shop, and the park itself.

The Hédrée river forms in the marshy area of the forest on the outskirts of Marche-en-Famenne between the villages of Gênes (Rendeux) and Bande (Nassogne).The route crosses this rushing stream at the ford on the path shortly after kilometre 2 and then follows one of its tributaries, whose bed runs alongside the path for just under the next kilometre.This is not the only wet spot on the walk: you often have to take a path through the undergrowth instead of the road until you reach the junction with Rue des Fagnes at kilometre 4.4.After a well-deserved break, it's back to the same thing for about 2 kilometres after crossing the national road.The last 4 kilometres are much drier.A short stop on the bridge at the bottom of Grimbièmont allows you to see how much the waters of the Hédrée have swollen over the first few kilometres of its course.In autumn, the circular offers not only the beautiful colours of nature but also an incredible diversity of mushrooms.

This hike (on foot or by mountain bike) takes you to the Lafosse mill from the Forge-à-la-Plez station on the Aisne Tourist Tramway. The hike follows the Aisne river all the way. The return journey is via the same route.
