Flémalle walks
The Awirs Valley and its streams
This walk takes you through a semi-natural forest and follows the Ruisseau des Awirs, an interesting habitat where kingfishers, a few pairs of white wagtails and trout can still be found. You’ll discover the Brouçou Valley, a wet valley with tall moisture-loving grasses, and walk along a sunken path lined with centuries-old trees linking the Alloue district to the hamlet of Saint-Georges. A sweeping panorama then unfolds, with Haultepenne Castle as a backdrop.
Discovering the Sérésian forest
For many people, Seraing is an industrial city, but what they don't know is that one-third of the area is covered by forests. This hike takes you on a journey of discovery through these forests and the many streams that run through them (the Neuville, Vecquée, Chéra and Ville en Court streams), passing by some iconic sites such as the Mare aux Joncs, the Arboretum, the Trou d'Ausny and the Source du Père Antoine.
La Roche aux Faucons from Neuville-Domaine
This long, almost entirely woodland circular route takes you on a journey to discover the natural beauty—often unexpected—located just south of the ‘fiery city’, not far from the industrial activity of the Meuse Valley. Whilst the aim of the walk is, as its title suggests, the viewpoint at La Roche aux Faucons overlooking the Ourthe Valley and the town of Esneux, the route also takes you through some beautiful woodlands such as the Bois de Plainevaux, the Bois de Nomont-Famelette, the undivided state-owned forest of La Vecquée and its arboretum, where the sequoia alone is worth the detour.The curious Source du Père Antoine will surprise many on the way back.Do stop off along the way to admire the Château de Plainevaux.
The Gerée circular starting from Hermalle-sous-Huy
Circular provided by the SI. Walk alternating between ascents and descents, without any major difficulties. The last section of the Chemin des Crêtes is a steep descent.
Rotheux and Oie Enceinte circular
This is a lovely route starting from Rotheux, very pleasant and without any notable difficulties, which will take you along the woods and meadows of Bonsgnée, up to Berleur and back to the starting point through pleasant countryside with some lovely views of both sides of the valley.
You may even spot some of the local wildlife, including Highland cattle, geese, horses and other inhabitants of the region.
Sart-Tilman circular from Boncelles
Loop through the woods of Sart-Timan, starting in Boncelles. It crosses the Sart-Tilman Golf Course and the university grounds.
In the footsteps of the Wolf of La Douve
There is a legend written by Mr Daniel Van Alken, published in the 100th issue of Cahiers de Jadis and edited by the non-profit organisation Mémoire de Neupré, which tells the story of a lone wolf. This legend is set in Plainevaux. On this walk, you will discover the places where the wolf is said to have passed. Look for its footprints or tracks! If you don’t find the wolf’s, you’ll discover plenty of others… wild boars, roe deer, badgers. Don’t forget to look up to discover some magnificent scenery!
The Fond d'Oxhe valley from Ombret-Rawsa
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.
Templar route starting from Amay
This beautiful hike takes you to the superb village of Villers-le-Temple, which was the seat of an important commandery of the Order of the Temple from the 13th century onwards (hence its name). It is a varied route, with no difficulty other than its length, combining small roads and little-used forest paths, passing through small villages and very quiet hamlets, offering some magnificent landscapes.
From Ombret to Neuville-sous-Huy via the Ampsin lock footbridge
A varied walk from the heights of the commune of Ombret, leading to the banks of the Meuse, which you can cross via the new cycle and footbridge at the Ampsin-Neuville lock and its facilities, including the original fish ladder. The return journey takes you through the Neuville-sous-Huy and Saint-Lambert national forest.
From Amay (station) to Scry and back
This route, slightly modified to allow for a start and finish at a station, was part of an organised walk that attracted several dozen walkers, all of whom left delighted. The route offers the chance to admire the beauty of the Condroz forests and landscapes, as well as that of the Fond d’Oxhe stream valley.
The Amay gravel pit and the Ombret puddingstone
Between the gravel pit and the puddingstone, you’ll find the Meuse, the fishway, the lock and the new Ampsin footbridge, the Tihange power station, Neuville Castle, and the state-owned forests of Neuville-sous-Huy and Saint-Lambert.Take the time to walk around the gravel pit and enjoy its aquatic wildlife!It’s a lovely walk, even if the N90 on the other bank of the Meuse is a bit noisy.The extension of the N684 between Tihange and Strée has been under construction for over ten years. Make the most of the remaining months (before the end of 2026) for a quieter experience!
Villers-le-Temple, streams and forests
Villers-le-Temple, an ancient village marked by the Middle Ages, is set in a landscape of streams, bridges and paths connecting woods and farmland. Houripont and the Chessaine bridge bear witness to these historical passages. The Wetai and Fond d'Oxhe rivers have carved out cool, shady valleys that accompany the walk.
Around the village, the Bois de Bourgogne recalls its seigneurial history, the Bois des Dames feeds local legends, and the Bellegrange and Chaumont woods alternate between dense forests and bright clearings. Schist and limestone, discreet fauna and forest flora make this hike a peaceful and immersive experience, perfect for observing nature and enjoying the peace and quiet.
Nandrin Fond d'Oxhe
A very pleasant walk entirely through the forest. The numerous circular loops on this route make it easy to shorten the walk.
The descent to the car park follows a lovely little stream that flows into the Ruisseau d'Oxhe
GR® 121 in Glain via the Citadel and the Palais de Justice
A walk combining town and more natural areas.
Esneux: a circular loop passing beneath the Rocher aux Faucons and returning over the top.
A magnificent walk with superb views. I recommend it in late autumn or early spring when there are no leaves on the trees so you can fully enjoy the scenery. Do not attempt this walk when it is raining, when there is snow, or when the Ourthe is in flood.
Getaway to Houte-si-Plou
This is a circular in the Liège Condroz region, mostly through forest, although the start and end are more rural.It is always a pure delight to walk in the woods of Esneux or Anthisnes, whatever the season.Houte-si-Plou has already been the subject of much discussion and, according to legend, much water, as it is said to be a miller asking his son to "listen for rain" when he went to bed and there was not enough water in the stream to run the mill.Nowadays, the expression Houte-si-Plou refers more to an imaginary place, unknown, non-existent or simply located at the end of the world, far from civilisation.
Rocourt - Lantin - Juprelle - Liers through the fields and along the RAVeL
A pleasant and easy walk through fields where traditional crops such as beetroot, wheat and winter barley alternate, sometimes interspersed with fields of potatoes, corn and even flax. The walk passes in front of the famous Lantin prison and Fort Lantin (one of the twelve forts built to defend Liège at the end of the 19th century) and returns to its starting point via the RAVeL (Réseau Autonome des Voies Lentes), built on the former Liers-Ans railway line.
