Circular route on the Vesdre hillsides starting from Wegnez

de fr

A lovely, slightly challenging circular walk on the northern slope of the Vesdre between Lambermont and Olne, passing through Cornesse and Soiron. Numerous paths and tracks await the walker and offer, here and there, some lovely views of the Vesdre valley as well as the rolling countryside on either side of Soiron. The walk through the Tribomont estate provides a lovely finale, part woodland and part countryside.

⚑Departure from Pepinster (Province de Liège)
Starting from the pretty Place du Moulin in Soiron – one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia – after admiring the old wash house, the walk gradually heads west into the countryside and offers a beautiful view of the Bola valley. The entrance to Olne crosses the Bois d'Olne and takes the beautiful Côte en Égypte before branching off to descend into the valley. The climb up the Croupet du Bois is hard on the calves, as is the descent on a bend in the Vesdre l'Est. At the viewpoint over the Vesdre, the route heads due east across meadows towards Cornesse and Wegnez, to the Paire sports complex, where it turns north towards the splendid wooded area of Tribomont and the bottom of Fiérain on the edge of Lambermont (Verviers). The route offers beautiful countryside scenery and some panoramic views of this pretty, hilly region. Hike without description to be followed with the Visorando app.
