From Crupet to Ronchine

Parking at the start. Descent towards Bauche in the shade. At Bauche, follow Chansin then head back up towards Durnal at the crossroads near the barriers. The climb is long but the surface is more pleasant and flatter than on the descent. Hike without description, to be followed with the Visorando app.

A beautiful hike through woods and along quiet roads. The trail starts in the centre of the village of Jassogne, where there is a small car park for six cars. Alternatively, there is a larger car park next to a school, but it is best to use this outside school hours. There are beautiful views of the villages of Jassogne, Maillen and Ivoy.

Forest paths and trails, small country roads with little traffic, and paths connecting villages are sure to delight you in this part of the Namur Condroz. Large farms still in operation on the Assesse side, opulent houses on the banks of the Meuse and the Tricointe castle farm, completely renovated for housing and leisure on the Godinne side: the route allows you to discover a whole world of differences. The route offers a beautiful view of the Meuse valley from the heights of Mont-Godinne.

A beautiful, not too long route starting from the old Bauche railway station. Parking is available for several cars. The route can be done in either direction. It's up to you to choose whether you prefer to return via the Bocq valley, which is very pretty. Be careful in wet weather, as some paths are slippery. Allow 3 hours and 15 minutes for a leisurely walk.

Starting from the village of Maillen, set off to discover Crupet, one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia. Visit its Saint Antoine cave and admire its Carondelet keep. Return via the village of Ivoy and its 13th-century church.

Numerous quarries have been or are still being exploited in the Bocq valley between Spontin (upstream) and Yvoir (downstream), and a railway line was built there connecting Yvoir to Ciney - via a few bridges and tunnels - to facilitate the transport of production. The line, which has been officially decommissioned, is operated between Évrehailles-Bauche and Ciney by the non-profit organisation Chemin de Fer du Bocq, which offers various activities, including, of course, trips in historic railcars and/or passenger carriages pulled by a steam locomotive. In short, the section between Bauche and Spontin has been reoriented towards tourism, and there are numerous trails and paths for exploring this beautiful region on foot. This walk is an invitation to explore, starting from Purnode. Hike without description to be followed with the Visorando app.

This walk takes place in the Bocq valley between Spontin and Purnode. It takes you through woods and countryside to the villages of Durnal and Dorinne. Views of the river, the forest and the hills, now increasingly 'decorated' with wind turbines.

Easy, with only two small steep hills. 74% of the route is on paths. Outward journey through the woods, return journey mainly through fields. Picnic possible at km 15 at the Samson cheese dairy in Gesves (081 583 666), possibility to bring your own meal (provided you purchase a drink) or order a cheese and/or charcuterie platter. Along the way, you can discover some of the sculptures on the Gesves art trail.
