Description of the walk

This 11.8 km walk takes you on a discovery of the Sclaigneaux Nature Reserve and the village of Landenne. A listed site and NATURA 2000 area, the Reserve impresses with its wild beauty and the variety of ecosystems it brings together in a fairly small area of around 50 hectares. During your walk, you will see three ecosystems: heathland, limestone grasslands and forest. Once you leave the Reserve, you will arrive at the bottom of the Loysse valley. Follow the river upstream to its intersection with a small path towards Vezin and the old Bure Saint-Remy. Continue through the woods to the old Collignon castle, now converted into the Chant d'Oiseaux educational farm. Continue across the fields to reach the village of Landenne. In the village streets, you will pass the pretty little Saint-Mort chapel and then the Saint-Rémy church. You will pass several beautiful farms before reaching a path in the middle of the fields that leads you to the edge of the Seilles quarry, which you will walk around. You will then come across the charming Saint-Étienne Church, one of the five Romanesque churches in Andenne. After the church, you will walk around the cemetery and return to the access path to the Reserve until you reach your starting point.
