Dinant, martyred town, August 1914
Dinant, daughter of the Meuse, with its citadel, collegiate church, Rocher Bayard, river boats, and home of Adolphe Sax and Father Pire (Nobel Peace Prize winner). Dinant and its bloodstained banks in August 1914. Caught in a pincer movement between the Imperial Army and the French Army, it paid a heavy price for this situation. 674 civilians were massacred by the German Imperial Army. The route is a memorial route of this historical episode, which I invite you to discover.
Long circular loop of the Lesse ladders
Starting from Gendron-Celles station, this is a beautiful hike, mostly along the water's edge, mainly on paths and trails, with a few sections on roads when crossing villages.
On the first part, mainly between points (3) and (4), ladders and steps allow you to stay as close as possible to the Lesse, and the second part, between points (4) and (10), offers a different way to discover the Lesse, which has remained very wild, and breathtaking views.
This route is a combination of various local routes andGR® trails that run along the lower Lesse.
The circular can easily be split up to reduce the distance or avoid certain difficulties; see the practical information.
An excellent walk to prepare for more technical hikes.
Please note: with regard to accessibility, please read the practical information carefully before setting off.
Between the Meuse and Lesse rivers in Anseremme
This long circular route takes you on a journey of discovery along the Meuse and Lesse rivers in one of the most beautiful parts of their course, with impressive rocks and splendid castles. Mainly wooded but also a little rural on the heights of Falmignoul, it does not present any major difficulties and is ideal for families.
The Lesse and the castle trails
Between Gendron, Furfooz and Chaleux, this hike plunges into the heart of the Lesse valley, between limestone cliffs, deep forests and villages steeped in history. The river has carved out spectacular rocks such as the Roche du Curé and the Aiguilles de Chaleux, offering superb views.
The route passes through unspoilt woods, rich in flora and fauna, and runs alongside the Lesse and the Forges stream, a reminder of the local industrial past. Perched castles, including Walzin and Vêves, and the Roman remains of Furfooz complete this landscape where nature and heritage complement each other.
