Head to Jehonville, where, in winter, nature – frosted by the morning mist, with no snow and no sun – has been transformed into a vast spider’s web woven from white threads. What a sight! What a delight! This walk is, of course, suitable for all seasons… the view will simply be different!

Other walks in the area
Forest walk in Jéhonville
This region of the southern Ardennes is particularly active in forestry: the small village of Jéhonville alone has two sawmills.
The forest is omnipresent, even though the route crosses a few areas of pasture and crops.
The hike is a free combination of sections of local walking trails, GR® trails, the "Between Lesse and Lomme" route that circles the municipality of Libin, and unmarked but publicly accessible paths.
The route crosses a didactic route called "Sur les traces de 14-18" (In the footsteps of 14-18) and passes through the Vieille Rochette Nature Reserve.
You may or may not like the unusual shape of the bell tower of the church in Jéhonville.
In the footsteps of the First World War in Anloy
The title of this walk is a nod to – and a plug for – the signposted walk entitled ‘Sur les traces de 14-18’ (In the footsteps of 14-18), which starts in Anloy and traces the history of the First World War in the Ardennes village of Anloy through a multitude of very well-made information panels.Of these information panels, this particular route only takes you past two: one at a place called Franc-Bois and the other, just before the finish, at the Franco-German cemetery in Anloy-Bruyères.Largely through woodland with a good mix of deciduous and coniferous trees, the walk will also take you past the Pont de la Justice and, nearby, the developed wetland area of the Ri de Chêne.
Along the Our
This beautiful hike will take you into the heart of the Ardennes forest to explore the whole of Our, one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia, following the course of the river of the same name and tributary of the Lesse. Discover undergrowth made up of rocky outcrops, scree slopes and streams running alongside or crossing the paths.
In the heart of the southern Ardennes towards Naomé
The village of Naomé is located in the heart of the Southern Ardennes Nature Park, which covers nine Belgian municipalities in southern Wallonia: Bertrix, Bièvre, Bouillon, Daverdisse, Gedinne, Herbeumont, Paliseul, Vresse-sur-Semois and Wellin. This walk, which takes you through both countryside and forest, starts in Naomé.
Circular walk from Naomé via Baimont, Francs-Bois, Roda and Perlefontaine
A circular walk starting from Naomé, which can easily be completed in 2 hours. The walk starts near the church, heading towards Opont. On reaching the pond, the route follows the GR®14 and takes the path that climbs to the right of the Douaire pond. The walk then continues along the GR®14 before leaving it shortly afterwards.
From Carlsbourg to Paliseul (long version via Our)
The walk starts at Carlsbourg station and winds its way between the provinces of Namur and Luxembourg, through pastures, farmland and forests. Passing through Our, Wallonia’s most beautiful village, it ends at Paliseul station.
Defoy educational trail
A very easy family walk with footbridges, pontoons, springs, a pond and different species of trees. Twelve stages to discover mark this circular loop, which is as beautiful in autumn as it is in summer. Mobile app "Luna and the Guardians" for an interactive experience.
