La Gaume, this beautiful hilly region in southern Belgium, is known for its mild climate. However, we have no idea if the area is very popular with hikers... There are hiking signs all along the route. It is possible to encounter few or no people.

From the Pont de Cordemoy, climb the Auclin hill to discover its viewpoints and belvedere. Continue on to the viewpoints of the Abbaye Notre-Dame and L'Épine.

Warning dated 11 August 2025 following recent reports: fenced plantations, newly created paths and obsolete references are making it very difficult to follow this route. I will revisit it in its entirety in September. bozierbruno Close to Belgium, this is an exclusively forest route which, especially in its first part, takes in little-visited natural areas. The modest streams have carved out a surprising landscape.La Roche au Sel, Le Gros Chêne, and L'Étang la Motte are worth a quick stop in the second part of the route.

This very natural route takes you on a journey of discovery through the wooded hills on the border between the Batte (Belgium) and Coulmy (France) valleys.Anyone with even a passing interest in the region's industrial history will also discover its mining and steel-making past, highlighted by the Transfrontier Iron Mines Trail and a number of information panels along the route.The trail passes by some of the iron mines that brought prosperity to the region in the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as the Musson slag heap, which over time collected all the slag from the mines on the Musson and Halanzy sides. Now cleaned up, it has been turned into a nature reserve managed by the DNF (Nature and Forestry Division).

This short, mainly forest walk will take you close to the Semois river and offer beautiful views of its winding valley.

This unpretentious walk allows you to wander around the villages of Freux and Bras, through pastures and along country roads. The walk starts in front of the church in Freux, where there is a large car park.

Three villages on the banks of or overlooking the Semois, where you can explore ridges, ladders and viewpoints.

This route combines rural exploration, panoramic views, rocks and forest single trails, between the water's edge and rocky passages. Although the outward journey is not particularly difficult, please note that the ridge crossing is a demanding section that should not be underestimated!

The mines, the mines of yesterday, the iron mines... this is the main theme of this hike.Fond-de-Gras is the most informative site on this subject: it was the station where narrow-gauge trains converged to unload iron ore into standard-gauge wagons bound for the steelworks and blast furnaces of Pétange, Differdange and others in Belgium and Germany.

The Ruisseau de Basseille has its source in the Fagne de la Borne near the Saint-Hubert Aerodrome and flows into the western Ourthe near Ortheuville. This walk follows its course more or less closely for about 6 km.

On the way go past the Rocher à Pic viewpoint, the Belvaux chapel, the Hermitage, the Mill, the Castle and the old Resteigne quarry.

The two Ourthes, the eastern Ourthe and the western Ourthe, meet at Engreux to form the Ourthe. Slightly downstream from their confluence, man built the Nisramont dam to form Lake Nisramont.

The Bernistap Canal is a section of the canal that the Dutch had planned to build to link the Rhine to the Meuse via the Moselle and the Ourthe. Begun in 1827 during the reign of WilliamI, King of the Netherlands, work was suspended in 1830 during the Belgian Revolution and finally abandoned when the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg gained independence. This canal has an underground section, the entrance to which on the Belgian side is still visible at km 1, if you're feeling a little adventurous. A few information panels are located along the canal between km 1 and km 2, as well as on the Luxembourg side (except for the section towards the village of Hoffelt).
