Circular between Romedenne and Rosée
A circular that is half countryside, half forest, allowing you to discover the region east of Philippeville between Romedenne, the village where the wheelbarrow festival has been in full swing (with participants and spectators from all walks of life and, above all, a friendly atmosphere and good humour) every first weekend in August for over 40 years, and the southern borders of Rosée (part of Florennes). Surice Castle is easy to spot but rather difficult to photograph (trees, surrounding walls, electric wires, etc.). The castle in Omezée, on the other hand, is clearly visible from the cemetery at the entrance to the village (in the direction of the route) but it is rather neglected. Omezée, the smallest village in Wallonia, has two hundred-year-old lime trees, one next to the church and the other in Champelle at the entrance to the village on the way back, after the northern tip towards Rosée.Don't miss the work of art 'La vie éternelle' (Eternal Life), on display along the main road between Lautenne and Surice, while it is still there.
Soulme and Omezée from Romedenne
This hike is a shorter version of the Grande Boucle around Lautenne and Surice, southern section, cut off at Omezée, reversed and starting from the Romedenne cemetery. As indicated, the route passes through Soulme, ranked among the most beautiful villages in Wallonia, after descending into the Hermeton valley (home to beavers). Here you will see the old Moulin Bayot mill, which has been beautifully renovated. Partly rural, the circular route follows country and forest paths, a few trails, some local roads with little traffic and crosses a nature reserve shortly before the finish. Of the three villages, Romedenne has the most monumental church. It is also where the annual wheelbarrow festival takes place on the first weekend of August. In Omezée, there is a beautiful view from the cemetery at the entrance to the village of the church and the old castle next to it. There are also two lime trees and a grotto dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
Long circular loop around Lautenne and Surice
Partly rural, partly forest, this rather long hike is a circular route to the east of the municipality of Philippeville with detours to Doische (Soulme) and Florennes (Rosée). Beautiful view (behind) of the church and the old castle next to it from the Omezée cemetery. Centuries-old lime trees and a grotto dedicated to the Virgin Mary in Omezée. Soulme has been named one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia. After Soulme, the hike enters the Hermeton valley, home to one of Wallonia's wildest rivers (with active beavers). You can't miss the imposing church of Romedenne or any of the wheelbarrow decorations. Romedenne has been the scene of a big wheelbarrow festival every first weekend in August for over 40 years. The northern part, which is also partly wooded and partly rural, is usually very quiet... but this calm can be severely disrupted when military aircraft take off from the nearby Florennes air base.

However, avoid periods of fog due to the reported problem of poor markings on part of the route.

Walk in the Pays de Herve, between Aubel and Fourons

Mount Minlo'o
Rising from the banks of the Méfou Dam and slightly lower than its neighbouring twin (966 m), Mount Minlo'o peaks at just over 900 m. The absence of tall vegetation on almost the entire ascent offers a clear panoramic view of the Nkobisson district, Lake Mefou and five of the seven hills surrounding Yaoundé.

Tintagel Castle and Rocky Valley
Does King Arthur ring a bell? If not, look up and watch some of the Monty Python films and you will be convinced that the English legend is (not) just a legend! Whether King Arthur was born here or not is not very important. Whether Merlin lived in the caves carved out by the Atlantic Ocean at the foot of this medieval castle or not is not very important either. The important thing is to enjoy the place and, if you wish, treat yourself to a (paid) tour of the peninsula, which is clearly visible from Barras Nose, the nearby rocky outcrop. In short, the coastline here is very beautiful, as is the path running along the foot of this ancient fortress.
Circular des Templiers à la Saucelle
On the edge of the Senonches Forest, north of Perche, La Saucelle is a real crossroads between different historical and natural sites.

The Knights Templar cleared these plots and all those that followed, creating the vast plain that surrounds the village.
