Givet walks

This hike offers a panoramic view of the heights of Givet, from the Houille River to the Belgian border

Set off to explore the natural, wild and rugged surroundings of the Hermeton by following it upstream to the Moulin de Soulme. The return journey takes you along small country roads, forest paths and trails where you can admire the landscape of the Meuse valley and its farmland.

A circular walk exploring the water resources of the Hermeton between Vodelée and Soulme, as well as three listed sites: the Notre-Dame de Bonne Fontaine Chapel, the Moulin de Soulme and the Sainte-Colombe Church in Soulme.Updated May 2026 following various comments:(7) the footbridge near Moulin Bayot is now closed to the public. You must continue straight on to the road and turn right twice to rejoin the original route at Moulin Bayot. Bonus: you pass by the Hermeton waterfall, which is magnificent in frosty weather.(16) Pass the turnstile and follow the river closely... the footpath is still very much public despite the ‘private property’ sign.(19) Take the road to the right and return to the starting point. The path that used to run between the gardens has been removed.

Despite the first few kilometres being very easy, make no mistake, this walk still requires some stamina with a section featuring handrails along the Hermeton and the climb up the aptly named Tienne d'Enfer (Hell's Hill).

Discover the Moulin de Prêle, the marble sawmill, the mill and the village of Soulme, listed among the most beautiful villages in Wallonia.

It’s hard to know where to begin with this walk, where everything is just as beautiful and interesting as the rest!!!

Relatively unknown to hikers, the Hermeton is a rather wild river in the province of Namur, which flows into the Meuse on the left bank at Hermeton-sur-Meuse. This very accessible hike sets out to explore it around Soulme, passing by the Bonne-Fontaine site, its source, its tufa and its chapel located on the hillside between the Hermeton and Vodelée.

A very beautiful tour along narrow paths, with beautiful views, steep slopes, high cliffs and lots of beautiful nature. Sturdy shoes are required, as well as a camera, as there are many photo opportunities. Have fun :)

On the border between the Condroz and the Famenne, Falmagne is located on a plateau overlooking the Lesse. Discover the Aiguilles de Chaleux and Walzin Castle via the Furfooz Park.

This hike takes you from the Meuse valley to the heights of the left bank and the village of Inzemont, initially following the course of the Feron, a small tributary of the Meuse. Along the way, you can visit the Pont d'Arcole caves, one of the many karst caves in the Upper Meuse region. The route also offers beautiful views of the valley.

This walk is one of the most beautiful and ‘natural’ in Hastière. It follows the Hermeton Valley, a steep-sided and well-preserved stream, surrounded by deep forests, moss-covered rocks and wetlands. It is a varied, peaceful and at times challenging walk, with several ascents and descents.

This walk is one of the most charming in the area if you enjoy forest trails and rolling landscapes. The name ‘Cascatelles’ is well deserved: the route follows a stream that forms a series of small waterfalls, creating a cool and soothing atmosphere. It is a walk that alternates between shaded sections, gentle climbs and views over the Meuse valley. The Yellow Rectangle is easy to follow

At the beginning of the 19th century, there were around ten water crossings on the Meuse between Givet and Namur. After the railway line between Givet and Dinant was opened in 1863, the water crossing – which was then in operation in both summer and winter – enabled the inhabitants of Falmagne and Falmignoul to cross the Meuse to catch the train at Waulsort.The Waulsort water crossing is the only one still in operation, but only during the (good) tourist season.

A challenging walk from the Cascatelles waterfalls to the arduous climb up to the ruins of Château Thierry, passing by the Roule stream on the way up. Medium version: HERE

From the ruins of Château Thierry to the Cascatelles, passing by the Drapeau viewpoint and the banks of the Meuse.

This circular walk allows you to combine two of the Dinant region’s finest attractions: the Rocher de Freyr and the Chemin des Cascatelles.

From Falmignoul, descend via the Chemin du Crestia, followed by a short walk along the Meuse before returning to the village via the enchanting Cascatelles trail.

A lovely, fairly challenging walk for the first 7 kilometres, as some sections are quite narrow with slippery descents in wet weather. There are some very beautiful views, including the Rocher de Feyr. The return route takes you through the countryside along the water’s edge, up to the waterfalls, and finishes with a country lane that leads back to the starting point.

This long circular route takes you on a journey of discovery along the Meuse and Lesse rivers in one of the most beautiful parts of their course, with impressive rocks and splendid castles. Mainly wooded but also a little rural on the heights of Falmignoul, it does not present any major difficulties and is ideal for families.

Dinant, daughter of the Meuse, with its citadel, collegiate church, Rocher Bayard, river boats, and home of Adolphe Sax and Father Pire (Nobel Peace Prize winner). Dinant and its bloodstained banks in August 1914. Caught in a pincer movement between the Imperial Army and the French Army, it paid a heavy price for this situation. 674 civilians were massacred by the German Imperial Army. The route is a memorial route of this historical episode, which I invite you to discover.

Anseremme is all about the Meuse and the Lesse... whether you choose one or the other, or both, the trip is usually very pleasant. It’s best done at midday on a lovely sunny day when the Lesse isn’t overrun by thousands of kayakers... The route offers some stunning panoramic views from the heights over Pont-à-Lesse and Chaleux, from the banks of the Lesse over Walzin Castle, or across the countryside around Dréhance and Hordenne. The Chawia ravine or gorge is very pretty!
