Bell tower walk from Serville

Not familiar with Onhaye? Here's a little preview!
Don't worry, there aren't only bell towers in the region, but you will come across a few along the way.
And not just those of churches and chapels... there are also one or two castles with turrets similar to the usual bell towers of our villages.

Description of the walk

Special features and points of interest along this route, in order:

  • Ostemerée Castle
  • The church and castle farm of Falaën (seen from a distance - a short detour off the route to admire it)
  • The Sommière Water Machine, restored by a committee of volunteers: it used to pump water from the stream above the plateau
  • the village of Weillen seen from both sides, as the walk goes all the way around it!
  • the magnificent hamlet of Serville.

A harmonious combination of countryside and woods.
A harmonious combination of paths, trails and small country roads, although those allergic to tarmac will find these sections too long... There are many country lanes that have suddenly become private and off-limits, even to pedestrians, since the COVID-19 health crisis... Even some rural rights of way seem to have been wiped off the map.

Overall, this route is recommended.
However, there is too much road, but could it have been done any other way?
It's also a shame that there aren't any details.
