Other walks in the area
Sart-Tilman circular from Boncelles
Loop through the woods of Sart-Timan, starting in Boncelles. It crosses the Sart-Tilman Golf Course and the university grounds.
On the heights of Tilff
Entirely on the right bank of the Ourthe, this hike will take you to the hamlets of Méry, Hautgné, Hayen and Cortil on the heights of Tilff, as well as the vast Bois des Manants forest, both on the way there and on the way back.
Short tour of Roche aux Faucons, through meadows and wooded paths.
Starting from the well-known long-distance hiking trail (signposted route to Santiago de Compostela), this route revisits the wonderful site of the circular Ourthe, passing by the old water pump towards the village of Ham. The idea behind this route is to limit the "concrete" sections to what is strictly necessary.
La Roche aux Faucons and the two Boubous
Winding its way from one bend in the Ourthe to the next, this walk takes in four viewpoints over the valley and the towpath, passing through the village of Méry, Brialmont Abbey and the elegant two-level bridge at Tilff.
Angleur - Belle Jardinière - Colonster - Sart-Tilman
A very beautiful walk on the outskirts of Liège, mainly through woods. It passes through the Streupas moor, joins the Ourthe and runs parallel to it as far as Colonster Castle, before returning through the Sart Tilman woods.
In the footsteps of the Wolf of La Douve
There is a legend written by Mr Daniel Van Alken, published in the 100th issue of Cahiers de Jadis and edited by the non-profit organisation Mémoire de Neupré, which tells the story of a lone wolf. This legend is set in Plainevaux. On this walk, you will discover the places where the wolf is said to have passed. Look for its footprints or tracks! If you don’t find the wolf’s, you’ll discover plenty of others… wild boars, roe deer, badgers. Don’t forget to look up to discover some magnificent scenery!
Sensory walk at Lande Mehagne
The Lande Mehagne: an unusual landscape that resembles a savannah.
The vegetation growing in the Lande is unique. This is due to a specific type of soil known as ‘calaminous’, which contains high levels of zinc. Industrial activities at the former factories in Trooz and Angleur – which have been extracting and processing zinc ore since 1860 – have, over more than a century, resulted in fallout that has permeated the soil, creating a unique biotope.
The heights of the Ourthe Valley from Esneux
A very strenuous walk along the heights on either side of the Ourthe Valley, starting from Esneux. The route heads to the small village of Fontin via a steep path, before descending to the hamlet of Méry. It then climbs towards the village of Frêchereux, cutting across the circular bend in the river, before finally following the river and returning to the starting point via the hills.
