Country:
City:
Fallais Castle and its moat (private – not open to the public – clearly visible from the entrance gate)
The village of Le Saule, a community and training centre dedicated to basket-weaving
Circular Hesbaye starting from Fallais
The walk follows the country lanes of the Liège Hesbaye region, passing through the villages of Fallais and Braives.
Set against a generally gently undulating landscape, the circular path offers lovely views of the crops – which are sometimes a rich golden colour depending on the time of year – as well as solitary trees, rows of poplars, bushes and other grasses swaying in the wind along the paths.
Egrets and herons are usually to be seen against a backdrop of wind turbines.

The feudal castle of Moha is one of the region's jewels. It is located at the top of a rocky spur on the heights of the Mehaigne, on the edge of the limestone quarries (both old and still in operation), and was apparently built in several phases between the 11th and 14th centuries. Archaeological excavations have revealed a much older presence.

A peaceful walk, both rural and countryside, along the banks and immediate surroundings of the Mehaigne and its tributary, the Soile, between the villages of Avin and Meeffe, passing through Ambresin.
