A peaceful stroll with magnificent views of the forests. It ends on a welcoming terrace. The walk starts in the village. Halfway along, you reach the highest point. Here, the walk takes you along a quiet road. Then you descend towards the village through a small wood, passing an enclosure occupied by long-haired pigs!

Other walks in the area
Walk at Burnontige
Starting from the old tram stop at Burnontige, this circular walk winds its way through the countryside, exploring the woodland and open countryside between the starting point and the village of Ferrières.The first two kilometres descend through the forest to the hamlet of Le Trou, from where the route climbs again to explore the Picherotte Nature Reserve (with a few information boards).This is followed by a series of beautiful stretches alternating between countryside and woodland, leading to the lower reaches of Ferrières village, where a path first climbs a hill before descending to the level of the old local road.On the return journey, the route does not follow the forest section of the old local road, but runs alongside it for a good while on a parallel path, gradually gaining height before emerging onto a wide, open stretch of countryside.
Burnontige and Les Arsins
This long circular walk, centred on the theme of the old local road, winds through the woods and countryside around Burnontige. In winter,the paths are waterlogged; others are very slippery where a thin layer of ice remains, and streams swollen with rushing water overflow onto the paths and tracks in many places. The thaw can be sudden.
Forest walk between Saint-Roch and Sainte-Anne
Mainly through woodland, as its name suggests, this circular walk takes you on a journey of discovery through the Pouhon valley, starting from the car park and barbecue area near the Saint-Roch secondary school, which is well known throughout the region.Shortly after crossing the Pouhon near the hamlet of La Levée, the route passes by the Sainte-Anne Chapel and a second barbecue area where you’ll find everything you need for a picnic break or shelter if it rains.At the five-kilometre mark, after the riding centre, don’t hesitate to enter the grounds of the Misery Brewery and head to the right of the manor house, as the public footpath starts right next to it, between the building and the Paradis stream.Towards the end of the route, you’ll come across Saint-Roch Chapel between two stretches of countryside.The return to the starting point follows a section of the old country lane that once linked Comblain-la-Tour to Hotton via Ferrières and Manhay.
Walk in Filot
This walk takes you through the countryside and forests on either side of the Tige de Xhoris to discover, on the north side, the undulating landscape of the Ourthe valley and, on the south side, once you leave the woods, that of the Lembrée valley.
The Grand Trixhe loop
A family walk through the former commune of Werbomont.
From Ernonheid to La Rouge-Minière via Le Paradis
Starting from the old school in Ernonheid (Al Vîle Sicole), the hike explores forests (mainly) and countryside between the villages of Ernonheid and La Rouge-Minière, passing not only near the hamlet of Paradis, but also Sainte-Anne Chapel, Brasserie Misery and Grimonster Castle.
Circular countryside loop starting from Xhoris
This beautiful and pleasant circular route between Xhoris and Filot, on the border between the Liège Condroz, the Calestienne, the Famenne and the Ardennes, is mainly rural and offers panoramic views of the northern slopes of the Ourthe. The two villages you pass through feature some pretty stone buildings, but the architectural highlight of the day is the Château d’Insegotte.
Circular at Logne Castle
This fairly long circular loop starting from the Palogne estate (large car park) begins by following the course of the Ourthe for a few kilometres before entering a forest and then countryside setting with numerous panoramic views of the plateau overlooking the Ourthe and its tributaries. On the Ourthe: egrets, ducks, cormorants and herons await you.You will see the rocks and the "beach" of Sy, where you can read an information panel about the aborted Meuse-Moselle canal project. Further on, you will pass close to Lassus Castle, which can be glimpsed between the tall trees in its grounds. In Vieuxville, it is probably the resurgence of the Lembrée that will catch your eye, before you see the limestone grasslands further on and finally the fortified castle of Logne. With a bit of luck (in season), you can even visit (for a fee) the ruins of this fortified castle built on top of a rocky outcrop.
