Sart-Tilman circular from Boncelles

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.

This lovely circular walk starts from the Adeps centre in Sart Tilman and passes by Colonster Castle. This hike takes place mainly in the woods on small paths that are impassable with a pushchair.

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!

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.

A magnificent walk with superb views. I recommend it in late autumn or early spring when there are no leaves on the trees so you can fully enjoy the scenery. Do not attempt this walk when it is raining, when there is snow, or when the Ourthe is in flood.

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.

A lovely walk for those who enjoy nature and peace and quiet. Starting from the Esneux bridge, this route begins with an uphill walk through a small wood, then continues downhill towards the pretty little hamlets of Ham and Lhonneux. You then follow the circular route of the Ourthe via the Ravel, with views of La Roche-aux-Faucons. Return via the Athénée area to the Esneux bridge.

This walk allows you to discover one of the most beautiful circular loops of the Ourthe, starting from the small town of Esneux. The highlight is the panoramic view that greets walkers from the Roche aux Faucons.
