A varied hike in the heart of the Namur Condroz, amidst deep forests, hidden valleys and Walloon heritage. The route passes through magnificent wooded areas such as the Bois des Loges, the Bois du Sergent and the Bois d’Insefy, before reaching the superb Bocq Valley and its steep-sided landscapes. It also passes through the villages of Durnal, Evrehailles and Chansin, as well as near Harnoy Castle, the Niersant Cave and the remarkable site of Tienne du Hé. Crupet, listed among the most beautiful villages in Wallonia, reveals its famous medieval keep surrounded by water, as well as the Saint-Antoine Cave and its famous devil. The typical terrain of the Condroz, formed over 350 million years ago, alternates between limestone ridges, damp valleys, beech forests and hedgerow landscapes. With its unspoilt nature, local history and wild atmosphere along the Bocq, this walk promises a wonderful immersion in one of the most beautiful regions of Wallonia.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
