Attert walks

After a detour via the Etang de Tattert, you’ll traverse the first Lorraine cuesta – also known as the Sinémurian cuesta – discovering its sandy soil, rocks and steep-sided paths.

A peaceful route through woods and valleys. The Anlier Forest covers over 7,000 hectares. It is the largest contiguous beech forest in Belgium. It is here that the black stork has made its grand return to Wallonia, after a century of absence.

Chapels to explore in the villages of Parette and Nothomb, a state-owned nature reserve in the Nothomb Valley to cross, and border marker 151 to find in the middle of the woods: this is what’s on offer on this circular walk starting from the village of Nothomb.

Set off to explore the magnificent landscapes between the Ardennes and Lorraine, from the Marais de Grendel Nature Reserve to Colpach Castle with its permanent sculpture trail, Colp’Art.

This scenic walk takes in the Grendel Marsh Nature Reserve as well as the grounds of Colpach Castle, formerly owned by Aline and Émile Mayrisch, who devoted part of their lives to art in general and sculpture in particular.

This pleasant walk starting from the village of Parette invites you to discover the idyllic landscapes of the Nothomb Valley. The route descends gradually towards the stream, winding its way through green meadows, country hedgerows and small copses typical of the southern Ardennes. Following the course of the stream, the path offers beautiful views of the surrounding countryside and allows you to enjoy the tranquillity of this unspoilt valley. The walk then reaches the outskirts of the village of Nothomb, known for its rural heritage and authentic setting. The return journey to Parette takes you up through the hills. After a steady climb, the route reveals magnificent panoramic views of the valley you have just walked through and the rolling landscapes of the Pays d’Arlon. This ascent offers a striking contrast to the intimate atmosphere of the valley floor, before you reach the starting point in the heart of the village.

Mainly through woodland, this walk offers a delightful variety of trees and shrubs, whilst providing beautiful wild flowers and berries, as well as lovely undergrowth depending on the season. Walking here in silence is sure to increase your chances of encountering small—or not-so-small—wildlife as you round a bend in the path.

A gentle walk through a forest with a variety of habitats and landscapes. Ideal for a half-day of exploration!

Our route to Metz takes us through the heavily urbanised areas of Luxembourg City and along the Moselle valley. Choosing to make the most of the increasingly extensive cycle paths, particularly those along the rivers, makes this route efficient, safe and picturesque.

Set off to explore the Kuelebierg Chapel in the heart of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg’s woods and, at the end of the route, discover a superb panoramic view of the Pall Valley from the Saint-Willibrord Chapel in Guirsch.

Circular in the Anlier forest starting from Habay-la-Neuve, discovering the various ponds used for the forges.

Plenty of deciduous trees, few conifers, a few fine historical and architectural discoveries… as well as a charming gastronomic gem serving ‘Plats canailles’ at La Bleue Maison.

After reaching the Château du Pont d’Oye, the walk begins with a pleasant route through the woodland, skirting the ponds before moving away from them to join a secondary gravel road. This takes us over hill and dale through the forest up to the heights of Martelange, a border town between Belgium and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

We are on the Ardennes plateau, the terrain is not steep, and we can admire the beautiful Ardennes countryside. Basically, we are circling around the relay antenna used to broadcast television programmes. It is a haven of peace and tranquillity. We did it in ideal weather conditions, but you should expect the harsh, windy climate of the Ardennes, where we often have snow in winter.

Set off from Clairefontaine Abbey towards the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and discover the Stengeforter-Steekaulen Nature Reserve, the former Steinfort dam on the River Eisch, and the Plateau des Sorcières State Nature Reserve.
