Ittre and the Château de la Tournette golf course

A circular route almost entirely through the countryside, starting from the centre of Ittre and ending at the Château de la Tournette golf course. Along the way, the Ravel cycle path runs alongside the Ri Ternel river, taking in the sweeping agricultural landscapes on the heights of Haut-Ittre – with, among other things, its beautiful hedgerows allowing nature to flourish – and crossing the golf course, all in an atmosphere of calm and serenity.

Description of the walk

Park in the Placette car park in the centre of Ittre.

(S/E) Take Rue du Centenaire to reach the sports grounds.

(1) Go round them by turning left onto Rue Jean Jolly. Continue straight on. At the junction with Rue de Gaesbecq, first turn right then left onto the Ravel path running alongside the Ri Ternel.

(2) A little further on, you cross the Gaesbecq temporary floodplain, then Rue de Schoot and, further on, Rue aux Cailloux, ending up on Rue du Patriote.

(3) This is the end of the path along the Ri Ternel; turn right and continue straight ahead. After a climb under the trees, the path reaches a plateau. The view opens up.

(4) At the T-junction, turn left and continue straight ahead across the plateau. At the next junction, if you are with a pushchair or on a bike, turn right then left; otherwise, continue straight ahead along the cobbled road, Rue de la Ferme du Pré. You will come to a few houses.

(5) Shortly after a small chapel on your left, follow a path that starts at a sharp angle to the right under the trees. Continue straight on until it emerges at a field. As the path is not maintained at this point, walk along the edge of the field. The path reappears at the end of the field, bordering another field. Continue straight on until you reach Rue de Schoot. This leads to a chapel at a crossroads, the Chapelle du Bon Dieu Qui Croque. Opposite is the motorway entrance.

(6) Turn right and continue straight on, crossing the Château de la Tournette golf course. At the exit, you’ll find another small chapel.

(7) You’ll be back on tarmac at this junction, and will stay there until the end of the walk. Fortunately, the scenery will keep you entertained. Turn right onto Rue de Baudemont and, at the first houses, take the street on the right, Rue des Primevères. At the bottom of the slope, you’ll come to a junction.

(8) Turn left onto Rue d’Eve. Further on, it joins Rue de Baudemont.

(9) Follow Rue de Baudemont straight ahead. Continue straight on, ignoring all paths to the right or left, until you reach the starting junction at Rue Jean Jolly.

(1) Turn left towards the centre of Ittre, then right towards the car park (S/E).

Notes

The vast majority of the walk, 75%, is on paved surfaces: tarmac, concrete and cobblestones, and can therefore be done by bike or with a pushchair. However, the section between points (5) and (6) is inaccessible to them. Follow the alternative route indicated in the description above.
(S/E) There are places to eat in the centre of Ittre before or after the walk.

Worth a visit

After the (4) on your left, you have a lovely view of Haut-Ittre and the environmental protection hedgerows.

Thank you, Arina. Could you please provide me with details on how to get to the geographical centre of Belgium and the location of the museum so that I can include them in the walk description? Many thanks in advance.

A charming walk, which can be extended slightly by visiting the monument marking the geographical centre of Belgium, as well as the magnificent Romanesque church of Saint-Laurent in Haut-Ittre. You can also visit the museum dedicated to the Belgian artist Marthe Donas, who lived in Ittre for many years.

Good evening, Yralissa,
Thank you for your contribution, but are you sure this is the hike you’re referring to? It’s not in Brussels and you need a car to get there... Enjoy your walks
Patrick

It wasn't until later that I realised it had geolocation. Without that, I wouldn't have found some of the trails.
I really enjoyed it, especially because it was a walk around Brussels, so I didn’t have to catch a train. (I don’t have a car)
