Loop in the woods of Sart-Timan, starting in Boncelles. It crosses the Sart-Tilman Golf Course and the university grounds.

This stage ofthe GRP®571starts at Pont-de-Sçay near the confluence of the Ourthe and Amblève rivers, climbs up the Amblève slope, crosses Oneux and Chambralles, rejoins the valley and crosses the river at Martinrive. It continues on the other bank of the Amblève, passing through Aywaille, Heid des Gattes and Remouchamps.

From mischievous nutons in the Ardennes forests to Satan, who in a fit of rage created the Fonds de Quarreux, to macralles bewitching hikers in the woods around Vielsalm, many legends haunt the Amblève and Salm valleys.

This stage ofthe GRP® 571 starts in Remouchamps, passes through Sedoz and Fonds de Quarreux close to the Amblève, follows the Chefna stream to the border of the Sources Nature Park and descends into the valley to finish in Stoumont.

Mixed hunting, urban (we're in the city after all) and rural, taking us along the RAVel, streets and country and forest paths.

A tributary of the Amblève and 3.5 km long, with an average gradient of 7.5%, the Ninglinspo is one of the few torrents in Belgium. Come and discover this valley, which was coveted by gold prospectors in the last century, and walk in a landscape worthy of the highest mountain rivers. With its waterfalls and "baths", the Ninglinspo will offer you an unforgettable moment of relaxation. As for the Chefna, less popular with tourists, it will take you away from it all with its wild side.

This walk takes us to Petit Vaux and the entrance to Nessonvaux, where we climb the Bois-d'Olne hill on its southern slope. From Bois-d'Olne to Grihanster, we walk along a magnificent ridge. From here, we can admire two very different landscapes. To the north, the Hazienne valley and the village of Olne, and to the south, the Vesdre valley and the first wooded foothills of the Ardennes.

This is a somewhat challenging hike through the woods on either side of the Fond d'Ohxe valley in the Saint-Lambert National Forest.Starting from the ruins of the Church of Notre-Dame in Ombret, the circuit skirts the hamlet of Les Communes before climbing into the woods, then descending shortly afterwards into the Fond d'Ohxe and climbing back up the other side through the Bois des Dames and Bourgogne woods. The return journey is again through the woods, on the opposite side, offering some beautiful views of the Meuse valley at the end of the walk.

Starting from the ruins of Franchimont Castle, discover Theux and its surroundings, including some remarkable trees, including an impressive sequoia, the Ru de Chawion Nature Reserve, the hamlets of Sassor and Sasserotte, passages along the Wayai and Hoëgne rivers, some beautiful panoramic views, long stretches through the magnificent Bois de Staneux and a " work dedicated to crayfish".

Alternating between forest and countryside, the hike takes you on a journey of discovery to some of the megaliths in the region. You will see two magnificent dolmens and a few blocks of puddingstone, some standing and some lying down.

Starting from Modave Castle, this walk takes you through the southern part of the Modave nature reserve and the Hoyoux valley. You will also discover the hamlet of Tibiémont, the Val ford, the site of the former Survillers castle and its beautiful viewpoint. A beautiful forest path (the wooded lane) will take you gently back to the castle. This walk is recognised by the Wallonia Tourist Board (Belgium).

Amblève Valley This stage ofthe GRP® 571 starts in Stoumont, passes in front of Froidcourt Castle and crosses the Amblève in Cheneux. The route then descends towards the Coo waterfall, crosses the river again and reaches Trois-Ponts via the Belvédère de Ster.

"The House of Megaliths: head for a land of legends".With a length of 6 km and an elevation gain of 125 m in a rural setting, we discovered a very pretty village with interesting architectural heritage and beautiful restorations.This treasure hunt took us through streets and roads, country lanes and forest paths.There is a significant but not mandatory elevation gain to reach the Pierre de Haina.

Departing from Jehanster, the route takes in streets, country lanes and meadows.

La Salm Valley, whose real name is Le Glain This stage ofthe GRP®571leaves the Amblève Valley and heads up the slopes of the La Salm Valley, known as Le Glain. The route changes banks several times until it reaches Vielsalm in the Pays des Macralles.

A pleasant, quiet and secluded setting. The route, which is often through woodland, is ideal for observing wildlife and remarkable trees, including an old oak and a sequoia. There are several interesting viewpoints. This is a variation of a local walk called 'du Chêne au Gibet' (from the oak tree to the gallows). The route also follows part ofthe GR®575. In the beautiful region marking the boundary between the Condroz and the Famenne, you can enjoy a superb forest walk with beautiful views.

An impromptu walk in the Havelange region of the Condroz.Easy, no significant elevation gain.Easy access and parking in front of Miécret church.Very easy access for bikes too, but mountain bikes are recommended.

The route is marked "Lanaye (I2-4 Blue): Par delà les rives - Montagne Saint-Pierre", but starts from the Quai de Caster car park instead of the church in Lanaye. Follow the blue diamond signs.

In May, the driveway to Château de Ramezée is even more beautiful than usual thanks to the impressive array of colours of the many majestic rhododendrons in bloom.It's a magical place that you never tire of!
