Other walks in the area
The Upper Geer between Lens-Saint-Servais and Hollogne
The upper reaches of the Geer, between Lens-Saint-Servais and Hollogne-sur-Geer, are largely set in woodland along much of its course. This route also offers the chance to linger in the Haut-Geer nature reserve (the settling ponds of the former sugar factory) and discover its birdlife.
Walk in the Haut-Geer
A walk that takes you along the Geer and into the Haut Geer nature reserve. Walkers will enjoy the scents of the earth, the sound of flowing water, the colourful palette of freshly blooming flowers, the ballet of pollinating insects, the melodious song of birds and the rustling of leaves swaying in the gentle breeze as they pass through the nature reserve.
Avin Hannut – Thorembais-Saint-Trond
This31st stage is a gentle stroll through the countryside, with distance being the only real challenge. No significant elevation gain, no meadows to cross. Small country lanes with very little traffic, apart from a long climb over old cobblestones – just enough to rouse the walker from any lethargy. And the scenery is as beautiful as ever for those who love the countryside – though, of course, this depends on the season and the weather. Once again, I prefer the countryside to the city, and there are very few villages along the way.
The Mehaigne and its surroundings between Avin and Meeffe via Ambresin
A peaceful walk, both rural and countryside, along the banks and immediate surroundings of the Mehaigne and its tributary, the Soile, between the villages of Avin and Meeffe, passing through Ambresin. The most pleasant section is undoubtedly the one that runs alongside the Mehaigne (known asthe"Sentier de la Mouhagne"), but the country lanes, lined with tall hedges that provide ideal shade along the route, also have their charm.
Circular Hesbaye starting from Fallais
The walk follows the country lanes of the Liège Hesbaye region, passing through the villages of Fallais and Braives.Set against a generally gently undulating landscape, the circular path offers lovely views of the crops – which are sometimes a rich golden colour depending on the time of year – as well as solitary trees, rows of poplars, bushes and other grasses swaying in the wind along the paths.Egrets and herons are usually to be seen against a backdrop of wind turbines.
The Mehaigne valley between Pitet and Hosdent
From the village of Fallais, the walk leads to the hamlet of Pitet, passing the small ‘Réserve de la Quiétude’ nature reserve and through the fields. The route continues through Les Falihottes, past its old mill and the former forge of the Pitet manor farm, and runs alongside its arbour. It then reaches the hamlet of Hosdent, known as the Village du Saule, before returning to Fallais via the RAVeL L127.
From La Mehaigne to La Burdinale via Fumal, Huccorgne and Marneffe
This circular route starting from Fumal winds through the Burdinale-Mehaigne Nature Park, passing successively through the villages of Huccorgne and Marneffe, before returning to Fumal via the countryside around Fallais.
The Henri-Fontaine stream valley between Orp and Grand-Hallet
The Hesbaye region of Liège is not only characterised by its rich agricultural plain, but also by its charming sites, consisting of wetlands, copses and sunken paths. This route, which starts in the village of Petit-Hallet, offers views of the vast plain, but above all allows you to discover pleasant places in the heart or on the outskirts of the villages that stretch along the Henri-Fontaine stream. A few farmhouses and castles can also be seen along the way.
