A walk in Anseremme
Anseremme is all about the Meuse and the Lesse... whether you choose one or the other, or both, the trip is usually very pleasant. It’s best done at midday on a lovely sunny day when the Lesse isn’t overrun by thousands of kayakers... The route offers some stunning panoramic views from the heights over Pont-à-Lesse and Chaleux, from the banks of the Lesse over Walzin Castle, or across the countryside around Dréhance and Hordenne. The Chawia ravine or gorge is very pretty!

A very varied walk through valleys and plateaus with beautiful panoramic views. A few long climbs provided a good test for the legs. The map served as the main guide for the route, with plenty of help from the signposting. I didn’t bother with the more detailed instructions. In the end, I was very glad I’d taken this walk – quite demanding given its length – and enjoyed it under a perfectly blue sky.
A good mix of sections along the Lesse where we really got the feel of a wooded valley landscape, contrasting with the hills and plateaus offering splendid panoramic views. Highly recommended.

Dinant, daughter of the Meuse, with its citadel, collegiate church, Rocher Bayard, river boats, and home of Adolphe Sax and Father Pire (Nobel Peace Prize winner). Dinant and its bloodstained banks in August 1914. Caught in a pincer movement between the Imperial Army and the French Army, it paid a heavy price for this situation. 674 civilians were massacred by the German Imperial Army. The route is a memorial route of this historical episode, which I invite you to discover.

This long circular route takes you on a journey of discovery along the Meuse and Lesse rivers in one of the most beautiful parts of their course, with impressive rocks and splendid castles. Mainly wooded but also a little rural on the heights of Falmignoul, it does not present any major difficulties and is ideal for families.

Who doesn't know the Belgian beer called 'Leffe'?
This walk will introduce you not to this excellent range of Belgian beers, but to the wooded and rural surroundings of the abbey on the banks of the Meuse, where it was originally brewed.

A circular loop to discover Bouvignes and Dinant from above. The highly recommended combination with the route called "From Dinant to the Moniat rocks" allows you to fully discover this area of the Dinant region. With the exception of a few very short sections, this walk follows the GR®129 and then GR®125-126 long-distance footpaths.

A lovely, fairly challenging walk for the first 7 kilometres, as some sections are quite narrow with slippery descents in wet weather. There are some very beautiful views, including the Rocher de Feyr. The return route takes you through the countryside along the water’s edge, up to the waterfalls, and finishes with a country lane that leads back to the starting point.
