Floreffe walks

A charming walk in a green setting along the Sambre, connecting Floreffe to Franière and returning via the natural part of the towpath. During this visit, you will discover magnificent views of Floreffe Abbey, the autonomous port of Floreffe, but above all, a relaxing view of nature along the naturally vegetated banks of the Sambre, which adds extra charm to this wonderful walk. You are sure to encounter birds such as herons.

Departure from the Sports Centre on Rue Célestin Hastir. The route is flat until you reach "Le Grand Saule" at 3.5 km and continues to the "Royal du Fayt" woods, just after 5 km. Then you walk through small woods and fields. A very varied route that is not too difficult.

If you like to combine walking with history, geology and nature, the "valorisation des sentiers" (promotion of footpaths) group of Malonne Transitionne has created a 5 km route with 12 points of interest. We strongly recommend using a GPS or smartphone to guide you! Please read the "Practical Information" below carefully. Enjoy your walk and happy exploring.

A short hike in the woods of Ham and Roly, and along the Sambre. You can hike with a dog without any problems and also mountain bike, but perhaps in the other direction as the Bois Roly has quite a steep gradient, which is easier to descend by bike than to climb.

The hike takes you through countryside (mostly) and forest (a little) in Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse between the villages of Lesve (municipality of Profondeville), Bioul (municipality of Anhée) and Saint-Gérard (municipality of Mettet).In addition to nature, the route offers views – or sometimes just glimpses – of Frahan Castle (Lesve), Neffe Castle (private, turrets visible in the woods on the west side as you approach Bioul), Bioul Castle and its vineyards, the old mill and Saint-Gérard de Brogne Abbey.

Starting from the Namur Youth Hostel, where you will find parking spaces and access to public transport. Between paths, forest trails, views of the Namur countryside and the Meuse valley. There is little tarmac, except at the start of the route, but it is not dangerous and there is relatively little traffic. Moderator's addition on 03/08/2021: private property in (15). See reviews for an alternative route.

Starting from Spy Church, overlooking the square of the same name, the route leads to the small village of Onoz through fields, which can be seen at the bottom of a wooded valley along the Orneau. From there, shaded paths follow the banks of the stream and then explore the Bois de la Veuve and Bois du Bètch-aus-Rotches woods, located on the side of the valley. The route inevitably passes by the Spy Man's cave and the museum dedicated to him.

A lovely walk in the heart of Namur that takes you on a discovery of the citadel through parks and gardens.

A varied route that allows you to discover the most interesting aspects of the municipality of Wépion. It first crosses the Marlagne estate, with its fascinating and turbulent history. It continues through the hills of Wépion, offering distant views, and ends along the banks of the Meuse with its castles and beautiful villas. The route mainly uses small tarmac roads (those allergic to tarmac should give this a miss), a few dirt tracks, and the towpath.

A walk between the forest paths of Bois Brûlé and the towpath at Jambes

A short walk along the hillside, almost entirely in the woods. Ideal in warm weather.

The route will then take you through the beautiful countryside of Mazy, along country lanes, open vistas and pleasant little paths. Finally, you’ll return to your starting point, enjoying one last glimpse of the charm of the stream, the golf course surroundings and the forest. An ideal outing for mountain bikers seeking nature, relaxation and new discoveries!

A short walk through the woods surrounding Spy Cave to the Orneau Valley.

A short family walk with little traffic, allowing children of all ages to learn to walk while discovering a quiet, green corner of Gembloux. Isnes is the southernmost village in the area.

This is a fairly challenging walk that allows you to discover the hill of Petite Hulle, the vast and high slope of Grande Hulle on the edge of the Meuse plateau, as well as the viewpoints of Sibérie and Couleuvrine and the Meuse towpath in Profondeville. The fairly steep slope of the Grande Hulle and the total elevation gain make this hike equivalent to a short climb. The route mainly follows dirt roads and trails. There is little tarmac.

Discover a superb 16 km route, mostly through woodland, ideal for nature lovers and those who enjoy a bit of a climb. Follow the grey arrow markings (main route) then the signs for the blue trail no. 16. The route alternates between challenging climbs and magnificent wooded sections, with nearly 80 per cent of the route through the forest, offering a pleasant, shaded setting. Around the 10-kilometre mark, you can stop off at the restaurant Les 7 Meuses, the perfect spot for a drink or a bite to eat whilst enjoying an exceptional view. The start and finish are on the village square, where you can enjoy a coffee before or after your walk.

An easy walk in the vicinity of Saint-Gérard, crossing vast fields and a few woods via dirt tracks and small, quiet tarmac roads. Beautiful distant views across the fields, a lovely view of Brogne Abbey, and a passage through the Bois de Neffe woods.

A walk to discover the village of Emines, its surrounding woods and streams. Take advantage of this easily accessible walk to discover several points of interest such as the place known as La Bruyère, the bucolic Pont de Seumoy bridge, or the Drève Clément. Rural landscape, half road, half footpaths. An unmissable route for locals!

The Transmolignée is a linear hike that connects the Annevoie Gardens to the Benedictine Abbey of Maredsous via forest paths and country roads. To avoid returning along the same route, I suggest returning via the Sosoye State Nature Reserve. The only difficulty is the number of kilometres involved.

Discovering several castles and an ancient abbey, this circular walk between Bioul and Saint-Gérard runs alongside the Neffe woods and crosses beautiful countryside. The Château de Bioul, a wine-growing estate, is well worth a visit.

As invigorating as can be in strong winds, this circular walk takes place mainly in the countryside on the agricultural plain between Gembloux, Jemeppe-sur-Sambre, Chastre and Sombreffe, bypassing the Docq crossroads (N29 x N93).In our opinion, it is more interesting on the north side than on the south side.You will discover some beautiful isolated trees, some magnificent rows of trees, a few merry-go-rounds, the strange Donjon de Villeret, the (deconsecrated) Église des Alouettes in the middle of nowhere, the Château d'eau de Sombreffe and a park of modern windmills (= wind turbines).

Starting from the church on Rue Joseph Draye in Bothey, a village of 300 inhabitants in the municipality of Gembloux, set off to discover the rich heritage of the lower Orneau valley. Landscapes, churches, chapels and castles will delight you along this undulating route. Alternating wooded and rural passages. Along the roads, the grassy verges are generally flat and well maintained. There are numerous facilities where you can take a break during your walk.
