Here is the route for a beautiful walk around Ellezelles (Picardy Wallonia). This circuit will take you to the heights of this locality, renowned for being a hotbed of witches. Capital of the Pays des Collines, it is particularly attractive to walkers for the quality of its paths and trails and its landscapes.The hike is located west of Ellezelles and passes through farmland.

Around De Pinte, the walk takes you through a landscape where history and nature complement each other. The Parkbos alternates between young forests, bright meadows and the wet valley of the Rosdambeek, which sometimes overflows between the tree trunks. Further on, the Domaine Grand Noble, once linked to St Peter's Abbey, reveals its noble avenues and neoclassical castle, while ancient names such as Nazarethbeek and Rosdam recall farms and hamlets that have disappeared.Heading towards Scheldevelde, you enter an ancient medieval estate marked by the Seven Dreven, star-shaped avenues that lend a solemn charm when the light filters through the beech and oak trees. Alders, willows, flower-filled meadows and dotterbloemen line the waters, while frogs, newts, robins and woodpeckers bring the 'poëls' to life. A hike through changing landscapes, between tranquil nature, aristocratic heritage and little touches of legend. Hike without description to be followed with the Visorando app.
