Anthisnes walks

This is a circular in the Liège Condroz region, mostly through forest, although the start and end are more rural.It is always a pure delight to walk in the woods of Esneux or Anthisnes, whatever the season.Houte-si-Plou has already been the subject of much discussion and, according to legend, much water, as it is said to be a miller asking his son to "listen for rain" when he went to bed and there was not enough water in the stream to run the mill.Nowadays, the expression Houte-si-Plou refers more to an imaginary place, unknown, non-existent or simply located at the end of the world, far from civilisation.

The Condroz region is full of (small) castles and (large) farms, most of which are built from local stone. Some examples can be found in Ellemelle, Houchenée (castle), Baugnée (farm slightly north-east of the route) and Fraiture. The castle of Baugnée, on the other hand, is of a completely different style.

This is a lovely route starting from Rotheux, very pleasant and without any notable difficulties, which will take you along the woods and meadows of Bonsgnée, up to Berleur and back to the starting point through pleasant countryside with some lovely views of both sides of the valley. You may even spot some of the local wildlife, including Highland cattle, geese, horses and other inhabitants of the region.

20 km route of the ADEPS walk organised in Fraiture in Condroz. A beautiful circular route in the Condroz region of Liège. The start is at the church in Fraiture. There are several options for shortening the route if necessary.

From mischievous nutons in the Ardennes forests to Satan, who in a fit of rage created the Fonds de Quarreux, to macralles bewitching hikers in the woods around Vielsalm, many legends haunt the Amblève and Salm valleys.

This stage ofthe GRP®571starts at Pont-de-Sçay near the confluence of the Ourthe and Amblève rivers, climbs up the Amblève slope, crosses Oneux and Chambralles, rejoins the valley and crosses the river at Martinrive. It continues on the other bank of the Amblève, passing through Aywaille, Heid des Gattes and Remouchamps.

Come and discover the Vignobles cave and its climbing rock, the Sy chapel and the viewpoints from the rocks. Pass by the cross of the priest of Xhignesse, the shepherd's cross and the Saint-Donat chapel.

This walk takes you through the countryside and forests on either side of the Tige de Xhoris to discover, on the north side, the undulating landscape of the Ourthe valley and, on the south side, once you leave the woods, that of the Lembrée valley.

Starting from the well-known long-distance hiking trail (signposted route to Santiago de Compostela), this route revisits the wonderful site of the circular Ourthe, passing by the old water pump towards the village of Ham. The idea behind this route is to limit the "concrete" sections to what is strictly necessary.

A peaceful nature walk in the countryside above the Ourthe, spread across the municipalities of Sprimont and Esneux.The few forest passages make for a pleasant outing with varied landscapes.

Loop through the woods of Sart-Timan, starting in Boncelles. It crosses the Sart-Tilman Golf Course and the university grounds.

This fairly long circular loop starting from the Palogne estate (large car park) begins by following the course of the Ourthe for a few kilometres before entering a forest and then countryside setting with numerous panoramic views of the plateau overlooking the Ourthe and its tributaries. On the Ourthe: egrets, ducks, cormorants and herons await you.You will see the rocks and the "beach" of Sy, where you can read an information panel about the aborted Meuse-Moselle canal project. Further on, you will pass close to Lassus Castle, which can be glimpsed between the tall trees in its grounds. In Vieuxville, it is probably the resurgence of the Lembrée that will catch your eye, before you see the limestone grasslands further on and finally the fortified castle of Logne. With a bit of luck (in season), you can even visit (for a fee) the ruins of this fortified castle built on top of a rocky outcrop.

Entirely on the right bank of the Ourthe, this hike will take you to the hamlets of Méry, Hautgné, Hayen and Cortil on the heights of Tilff, as well as the vast Bois des Manants forest, both on the way there and on the way back.

This lovely circular walk starts from the Adeps centre in Sart Tilman and passes by Colonster Castle. This hike takes place mainly in the woods on small paths that are impassable with a pushchair.

A peaceful stroll with magnificent views of the forests. It ends on a welcoming terrace. The walk starts in the village. Halfway along, you reach the highest point. Here, the walk takes you along a quiet road. Then you descend towards the village through a small wood, passing an enclosure occupied by long-haired pigs!
