La Bruyère (Belgique) walks

This walk is located in the south and in the most wooded part of Gembloux. Beautiful scenery.

Without entering them, discover five villages in the Gembloux area. This well-maintained route of around 15 km gives pride of place to paths and trails. In addition, 20% of the route is along roads with often flat and passable verges. In spring, the undergrowth is ablaze with flowers. On the hills, take a look around you: the landscapes will surprise you.

Departure from the Sports Centre on Rue Célestin Hastir. The route is flat until you reach "Le Grand Saule" at 3.5 km and continues to the "Royal du Fayt" woods, just after 5 km. Then you walk through small woods and fields. A very varied route that is not too difficult.

The race starts at the Sports Centre on Rue Célestin Hastir. The course is flat until the first pond (2.4 km) and continues until km 3.8. After the Fontaine Ste-Gertrude, i.e. from km 6 to km 7, there is a gentle climb. After that, the course descends to the finish line. Beautiful views of the different landscapes.

Departure from the Sports Centre on Rue Célestin Hastir. The route is flat until Fontaine Ste-Gertrude. From km 2.4 to km 3.3, there is a gentle incline. After that, the route descends to the finish line. Beautiful views of the surrounding landscape.

A lovely walk in the wooded hills of Marche-les-Dames: 1 km on the road to start with and 2 km on the towpath to finish, the rest is in the woods. The path is largely marked by blue rectangles. The walk described deviates slightly from these markings to follow the ridges but rejoins them towards the end.

A bucolic walk steeped in history, following in the footsteps of Marlborough.

This route will take you through the vast Dave woods, where you can admire beautiful views of the Meuse valley and the village of Naninne, and explore Dave's secret little paths.

A rural hike in Walloon Brabant, discovering a few villages crossed by the Orne and its tributaries.

Walk through woods and countryside around Arville Castle

Starting from the village of Maillen, set off to discover Crupet, one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia. Visit its Saint Antoine cave and admire its Carondelet keep. Return via the village of Ivoy and its 13th-century church.

Chaumont-Gistoux, like many places in Walloon Brabant, is full of small paths and trails connecting the villages, hamlets and neighbourhoods of the area. This is one of the highlights of the walk.

This route at the intersection of Gesves, Haut-Bois and Faulx-les-Tombes will take you close to the Gesves provincial breeding and riding school, whose facilities can host international events.

"La Fête de Mai in Gesves is a wonderful artistic and human adventure in a rural setting. In 2001, nature and art lovers came up with a bold project: to invite artists from all over the world to create works of art in natural materials in the countryside. The May Festival is now 25 years old! In 25 years, our landscape has been enriched, in Gesves alone, by 136 works of land art. Some have returned to nature, while others still stand proudly for the enjoyment of hikers."Quote from Christian Beelaert, president of Vagabond'art asbl. All these works of art are linked by hiking trails that are accessible all year round.

Whatever the season, this route will allow you to discover the splendours of the Bois du Grand Fréchy, all along the Ruisseau de l'Étang du Diable. A truly exotic route despite its short distance. I suggest another route in the same area: "Around the Bois du Grand Fréchy" (17 km).

Enjoy this beautiful, peaceful hike with a few hills between countryside, woods and rivers. For those who would like a few extra kilometres, see my other hike in the same area (No. 6600390).
