Walking La Sibérie, La Couleuvrine and the banks of the Meuse at Profondeville

↔8.72 mi ↗+1,070 ft ↘-1,079 ft ◔4h 55 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Profondeville (Province de Namur)
This is a fairly challenging walk that allows you to discover the hill of Petite Hulle, the vast and high slope of Grande Hulle on the edge of the Meuse plateau, as well as the viewpoints of Sibérie and Couleuvrine and the Meuse towpath in Profondeville. The fairly steep slope of the Grande Hulle and the total elevation gain make this hike equivalent to a short climb. The route mainly follows dirt roads and trails. There is little tarmac.

La Transmolignée
↔14.46 mi ↗+1,407 ft ↘-1,385 ft ◔7h 50 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Anhée (Province de Namur)
The Transmolignée is a linear hike that connects the Annevoie Gardens to the Benedictine Abbey of Maredsous via forest paths and country roads. To avoid returning along the same route, I suggest returning via the Sosoye State Nature Reserve. The only difficulty is the number of kilometres involved.

⚑Departure from Namur (Province de Namur)
A varied route that allows you to discover the most interesting aspects of the municipality of Wépion. It first crosses the Marlagne estate, with its fascinating and turbulent history. It continues through the hills of Wépion, offering distant views, and ends along the banks of the Meuse with its castles and beautiful villas. The route mainly uses small tarmac roads (those allergic to tarmac should give this a miss), a few dirt tracks, and the towpath.
