Starting from the pretty Place du Moulin in Soiron – one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia – after admiring the old wash house, the walk gradually heads west into the countryside and offers a beautiful view of the Bola valley. The entrance to Olne crosses the Bois d'Olne and takes the beautiful Côte en Égypte before branching off to descend into the valley. The climb up the Croupet du Bois is hard on the calves, as is the descent on a bend in the Vesdre l'Est. At the viewpoint over the Vesdre, the route heads due east across meadows towards Cornesse and Wegnez, to the Paire sports complex, where it turns north towards the splendid wooded area of Tribomont and the bottom of Fiérain on the edge of Lambermont (Verviers).

After revisiting a dozen walks in their municipality, a few lovers of hiking and beautiful landscapes in Olne decided to set themselves a challenge: to mark out a walk on the outskirts of the area. This is how this tour of Olne came about, taking you over hill and dale to discover one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia.

A short and easy route around the village of Olne, one of the ‘Most Beautiful Villages in Wallonia’.

Leaving the village, head towards La Falise, following in the footsteps of the herders who used to take their flocks to graze on the Rafhay pastures. Continue on to Saint-Hadelin, Le Fief, its chapel and its nail tree. Head towards Croix-Renard and descend into the Vesdre valley to cross Nessonvaux and Vaux-sous-Olne. This route takes you past many workshops that drew their energy from the Ry-de-Vaux. Head back up towards the Terwangne woods and the village.

A magnificent walk through woods, fields and picturesque villages 

Do give this walk a go in spring when wild garlic fills the forest paths with its scent. This garlicky aroma will accompany you for two-thirds of the route from the moment you enter the forest after Saint-Hadelin Church.This magnificent carpet of scent, characteristic of damp, shady areas, is green at first, then green and white when in bloom, and gradually turns yellowish as the flowers fade.Combining countryside and woodland, roads, tracks and paths that are sometimes challenging (steep and/or stony), the walk offers a delightful variety of landscapes in the north of the Vesdre Valley.The two very different churches at Saint-Hadelin and Forêt are little gems.

The Sawe and the Statte are two beautiful streams that cascade down from the Fagnes plateau and converge near the village of Solwaster. The ascent of the Sawe is surprising for the diversity of views in the forest and valley. The only thing missing is the Nutons. After crossing the Fagne and its typical open landscapes, you reach the Statte, which you descend along its waterfalls. Water is omnipresent on this route.

Solwaster, a small village at the foot of the fagne, 16 km from Verviers, is unique in that it is located between two of the most beautiful rivers in the fagne: the Statte, which rises in the peat bogs of the Hautes-Fagnes, in the Wihonfagne fagne, and the Hoëgne, which rises in the Polleur fagne. These two rivers welcome us into a magical landscape of fens and forests.

The route is marked (yellow rectangles) and shown on the "Jalhay-Spa-Stavelot-Theux" walking map, available from the Tourist Office.The first half is a superb walk (with a few difficult and potentially slippery sections) along the Sawe.The second half (when you leave the Sawe) is the return to Solwaster on a more relaxing but more mundane path.There is also the option of a longer 8.5 km version (blue rectangles).

This magnificent walk, mainly through woodland, offers a leisurely exploration of two of the three iconic streams of the Hautes-Fagnes on the south-western side of Baraque Michel. The route follows one stream upstream and the other downstream.Feel free to walk the route in both directions, as the experience of a rushing stream is often better when walking upstream. You will most likely discover other aspects of it.The third stream in the region is the Sawe, which the route follows very briefly between kilometres 2 and 3. Numerous footbridges and boardwalks make it easier to navigate this wild, picturesque, sometimes chaotic, sometimes muddy environment, where the paths are covered in rocks and roots.
