The deforested hillsides in the Waharday, Chéoux and Hodister areas have been replanted with various species of shrubs, including broom, which has taken root there in their thousands.When they flower in May, they light up the whole area with their characteristic magnificent yellow colour.The icing on the cake is that the numerous meadows are also illuminated in yellow by buttercups.A real treat for the eyes.

This beautiful hike in Sainte-Ode takes you on a journey of discovery through the valleys of the Ourthe, Baseille and Laval streams, alternating between forest and pretty panoramic views of this region of the Ardennes, with a return trip through the Orti Nature Reserve.

A pleasant walk through the hills and valleys of the Nassogne countryside and woods. It first takes you to the Chapel and Calvary of St-Léonard before descending towards the Masblette stream and the village of Masbourg. This is followed by a very steep climb up a very stony path on the agricultural plateau between Masbourg and Ambly. You may need a machete to approach Ambly, but the view on arrival is magnificent. The return to Nassogne is a little harder on the calves, but you won't need a machete: the path is a little wider and well cleared.

This is a reposing walk between the fields and along small rivers. Recommend for people who love the country and nature.
