Fosses-la-Ville walks

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.

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.

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.

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.

Whatever the season, this route will allow you to discover the splendours of the Bois du Grand Fréchy, all along the Ruisseau de l'Étang du Diable. A truly exotic route despite its short distance. I suggest another route in the same area: "Around the Bois du Grand Fréchy" (17 km). See hunting dates below

A beautiful hike (just over 3 hours), much appreciated, combining forests, streams, ponds and countryside. You will also be able to admire the castle of Sart-Eustache. There are a few short sections on tarmac, but these are necessary to reach other beautiful sections where the forest dominates. Hunting dates below

Enjoy this beautiful, peaceful hike with a few hills between countryside, woods and rivers. For those who would like a few extra kilometres, see my other hike in the same area (No. 6600390).
