For several years now, the Les Sablières Veterinary Centre has been partnering with the Télévie committee ‘Athois La Vie’ to organise a dog walk, with all proceeds going to Télévie. This route is the shortest of the three on offer. It starts in Chièvres, passes through the hamlet of Les Sablières and crosses the Petite Hunelle twice.

Departure from Belœil (Hainaut)
Discover the undivided forest of Stambruges, its avenues and paths, and the mystery of the Fontaine Bouillante. Follow the narrow streets of Belœil and Stambruges and marvel at the Château du Prince de Ligne, the ‘Belgian Versailles’.
Two other walks are available: “The Ath-Blaton Canal between Belœil and Stambruges” and “The Mer de Sable, the Fontaine Bouillante and the Blaton-Ath Canal”. This one is intended as a summary of the two (excluding the Mer de Sable) but follows different paths and lanes.

Departure from Mons (Belgique) (Hainaut)
A veritable green lung in the Borinage, the undivided Baudour State Forest is a little paradise for walkers – and probably for wildlife too! You’ll discover a wealth of biodiversity there. The walk takes a grand tour of the central section, situated between the N524 to the west and the Brussels–Mons railway line to the east. Towards the end, the route passes by the Ghlin railway halt and joins the Erbisœul halt via the Long-Distance Walk No. 129. The two architectural highlights of the walk are the Ronde Maison and the Notre-Dame du Mouligneau chapel.

Departure from Belœil (Hainaut)
Whilst interesting sites such as the Stambruges Communal Forest, the Mer de Sable, the Fontaine Bouillante and the Ath-Blaton Canal are already well documented, here is a slightly different suggestion that takes in the Arbre à Loques and follows the canal along a forest path rather than the towpath used by so many cyclists!

Departure from Belœil (Hainaut)
This eighth stage is certainly not the most pleasant part of this tour of Wallonia, as it passes through a heavily built-up area. Nevertheless, it is interesting to explore the Borinage not only through its countryside but also through its towns. You’ll find both aspects here. Accommodation with a local host.

Departure from Lessines (Hainaut)
This third stage links two small villages in northern Hainaut: Ghislenghien and Coqueréaumont. It passes through Ath, where there are sports shops. This walk allows you to discover the two Dendre rivers, the eastern one flowing into the western one within the town, and to walk along the Way of St James. The route then heads back into the countryside, which is very hilly, heading westwards.
