Golf de la Bruyère walks
The Tour de Saint-Croix
A mainly rural route, linking the villages of Marbais, Villers-la-Ville, Tilly, Marbisoux and Wagnelée, whilst avoiding roads with traffic as far as possible. You’ll see the Rigenée and La Bruyère golf courses, the Châtelet, the old Hollers mill, the Romanesque church at Villers-la-Ville and its altarpieces, the monument to t’Serclaes in Tilly, Chassart, the meadow and the target at the Tir au D’Jirau, and the Monument to the Desecrated Hosts.
The Chassart Plain
Inthe 19th century, the Dumont family founded the Établissements de Chassart, modernised agriculture and livestock farming, and set up a sugar factory following the development of beet cultivation in the region. This was followed by the creation of a distillery and the production of the famous Chassart Vieille Cuvée genever. In 1906, the family name was ennobled to Dumont de Chassart.

From Bousval to the Écurie de la Tourelle
The hike starts at Avenue des Habitations Modernes and goes to the stable at the turret, passing through fields, forests, a small village and the Ravel. This hike will allow you to discover peaceful and beautiful spots that are perfect for beginners.
From Nivelles to Ecaussinnes via Ronquières
This route starts from the RAVEL cycle path at the St-Roch car park in Nivelles, passes through Ronquières and its old canal, and then joins another RAVEL cycle path that takes you straight to Ecaussinnes, near Place Cousin.
Louvain-la-Neuve – Braine-l’Alleud
From town to town, this final stage takes us from Louvain-la-Neuve to Braine-l’Alleud, once again favouring country roads and lanes as well as the little-known paths of Walloon Brabant. A thoroughly enjoyable and surprising final stage that is an absolute must-see.
Tour de Wallonie
This walking tour of Wallonia, which includes the German-speaking part of Belgium, is a circular route that generally follows the borders as closely as possible, whether linguistic or territorial. This sometimes involves forays into neighbouring territories – France, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the Flemish Region. Occasionally, the route also deviates from this due to accommodation requirements or because suitable accommodation could not be found close to the borders, whilst still adhering to various constraints.
Tour de Wallonie Stage 1 Braine-l'Alleud - Braine-le-Comte
Starting from the 1815 site, this first stage of my tour of Wallonia connects two towns named Braine – Braine-l’Alleud and Braine-le-Comte – whilst prioritising routes away from towns and villages as much as possible. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they are farm tracks or footpaths. Where possible, yes; otherwise, mostly small country roads.
From Seneffe to Ghent
This cycle route, starting in Seneffe, takes you to Ghent along the region’s iconic waterways. Ideal for an accessible and easy-going cycle ride, the route follows the landscaped banks of the Charleroi–Brussels Canal, offering you a peaceful, leafy route through Wallonia and Flanders.
