Libin walks

An eight-shaped route to the legendary site of Rocher du Cuy, also known as Roche aux Nutons, and the Villance forest. Nutons are creatures from Belgian and Ardennes folklore, often described as small, skilful beings living in caves and near waterways.

In the Centre Ardenne region, explore the forest paths of the Bois de Chamont, the farm tracks of Transinne, the Pont de la Justice, the Roche des Nutons, LandArt and much more...

Troufferies: a Walloon word meaning peat bogs, i.e. a place where peat is extracted. Peat was extracted in Libin from the Middle Ages until the 1930s. Come and stroll through a forest landscape of marshes, peat bogs, mud flats and moors... unusual in this part of the Ardennes.

Set off on a walk themed around water and the forest from the hamlet of Lesse.The two main rivers in the region are the Our and the Lesse, which converge less than 2 km from the starting point.

Discover the wild Haute Lesse from Redu, passing through La Roche aux Chevaux and the Notre-Dame de Walcourt chapel in the village of Lesse.

This region of the southern Ardennes is particularly active in forestry: the small village of Jéhonville alone has two sawmills. The forest is omnipresent, even though the route crosses a few areas of pasture and crops. The hike is a free combination of sections of local walking trails, GR® trails, the "Between Lesse and Lomme" route that circles the municipality of Libin, and unmarked but publicly accessible paths. The route crosses a didactic route called "Sur les traces de 14-18" (In the footsteps of 14-18) and passes through the Vieille Rochette Nature Reserve. You may or may not like the unusual shape of the bell tower of the church in Jéhonville.

Circular forest to discover the Chapel of Notre-Dame de Bon Secours, the Rocher Marie Gobaille and ending along the Lomme with its two 19th-century buildings, formerly hydroelectric power stations.

This beautiful hike will take you into the heart of the Ardennes forest to explore the whole of Our, one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia, following the course of the river of the same name and tributary of the Lesse. Discover undergrowth made up of rocky outcrops, scree slopes and streams running alongside or crossing the paths.

Eaux & Forêts (Water & Forests): older people will certainly remember this former name of the Wallonia public service Direction Nature et Forêt (Nature and Forestry Department). The former name perfectly reflects the intrinsic characteristics of this long hike starting from the provincial estate of Mirwart, which takes you on a journey of discovery along the Lomme, the Parfond Ry and a few other nameless streams. Nothing but forest and aquatic bliss... especially when the rivers and streams are in flood! That said, the paths and trails in this region of the Belgian Ardennes are in much better condition in the middle of winter after heavy rains than in other regions such as Limburg or the Pays des Collines, to name but two. Of course, the ruts dug by forestry machinery during various felling or clearing operations do not always help to keep the paths in good condition for hiking. Hike without description to be followed with the Visorando app.

Glacière, ponds, arboretum, Croix des Bûcherons, but also Croix des Morts, La Lomme, Rocher de Marie Gobaille. Let's set off on the grand tour of Mirwart.

Glacière, ponds, arboretum, Croix des Bûcherons: circular around Mirwart Castle.

A circular forest between Daverdisse and Fays-Famenne with a magnificent diversity of trees and streams near the Lesse valley. Although entirely forested, the route offers panoramic and rural landscapes for a good kilometre near Fays-Famenne.

The village of Naomé is located in the heart of the Southern Ardennes Nature Park, which covers nine Belgian municipalities in southern Wallonia: Bertrix, Bièvre, Bouillon, Daverdisse, Gedinne, Herbeumont, Paliseul, Vresse-sur-Semois and Wellin. This walk, which takes you through both countryside and forest, starts in Naomé.

Starting from the old Redu railway station, now converted into a lodge, take a walk through the Grande Forêt de Saint-Hubert, along the Ry des Glands, then the Ry de Houssi and finally along the Lesse. Immerse yourself in the forest, among conifers and deciduous trees.

Several series of ponds strung together like a string of pearls stretch between Freux, Bougnimont and Séviscourt. The hike takes you to those near the magnificent Freux-Suzerain castle. The others are even more hidden away at the bottom of vast private estates. For the rest, this hike is rather rural on the north side and very wooded on the south side. The end of the wooded section crosses the pretty marshy area of Golo.

Set off from Graide on a circular walk to Gedinne. Stop for a bite to eat at L'Hôtel de la Poste, a high-quality restaurant. Enjoy the varied landscapes before returning to Graide via a different path. Remember to check the restaurant's opening hours.

A walk starting from Tellin to discover the villages of Resteigne and Belvaux via the La Lesse valley and the Bois de Niau (woodland) where a hermit lived. There are still ruins of the hermitage of this former officer of Napoleon and heir to the Château de Resteigne (castle). On the way go past the Rocher à Pic viewpoint, the Belvaux chapel, the Hermitage, the Mill, the Castle and the old Resteigne quarry.

Based on sections of Grande Randonnée trails and marked walks, in particular the new 'Par Monts et par Vaulx' circulars inaugurated in 2025 by the Wellin Tourist Office, the walk takes place mainly in magnificent deciduous forests where beech and oak trees reign supreme.

A very easy family walk with footbridges, pontoons, springs, a pond and different species of trees. Twelve stages to discover mark this circular loop, which is as beautiful in autumn as it is in summer. Mobile app "Luna and the Guardians" for an interactive experience.

Discover the Notre-Dame des Pauvres Chapel, whose stained-glass windows, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, allow light to penetrate under the arch sheltering the Virgin of Banneux. Beforehand, cross the Pont des Cloyes, a prime spot for observing herons, mallards, kingfishers and other birds of the Lomme.

The route takes turns along the GR® Monts d'Ardenne trail and the Wellin circular, via Monts and Vaulx.The Sourd d'Ave is a resurgence of the Ry d'Ave located opposite the N835, between the E411 and the N94. There are better places, but there is no choice. The route is equipped with stairs and ropes, making it safe and secure. You can admire the work of the beavers there!The stone Jeumont Cross dated from the late 19th century. It fell during a storm in 1984 (remains can be seen on the site), and a wooden version was erected by the Fraternité de Tibériade in 2022. The site is part of the Natura 2000 network and the chapel at the top of the hill is listed as protected heritage in Wallonia.In addition to opening up onto rolling countryside landscapes, the trail comes quite close to two gigantic quarries, Fond des Vaulx and Les Limites. Both are worth a closer look where possible!

This is a very easy route through one of Belgium's largest deciduous forests, on comfortable gravel paths and a little tarmac, but very secluded, completely away from 'civilisation'. It passes by the Étang de Bilaude bird observatory, which is superb in its moorland setting. In several places, beautiful benches carved from tree trunks invite you to rest and contemplate.

This long walk, which is mostly through forest for just over half of the route, starts behind the imposing church of Lomprez with its turrets. The old village mill is nearby. While the street-facing building and its dormer window (whose pulley has disappeared) are in good condition, the rear and the old wheel are in need of restoration. There are a few difficulties on this route: see the "description" box.

With sections in the countryside offering magnificent panoramic views of the Famenne and Calestienne regions and beautiful forest sections alternating between deciduous and coniferous trees, this long circular walk is one of the 2025 proposals from the Wellin Tourist Office. It is part of a series comprising a large circular 50 km and four other smaller circular ones, including this one.It is worth noting that the circular route passes through Sohier, one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia, with its pretty stone houses: don't miss the old village hall/school, the church and the castle.

This hike takes you on a journey of discovery through the rural and forested Ardennes east of Bertrix, completely off the beaten track. Apart from the surroundings of the Herbeumont slate quarry and a few crossings of main roads and the Bertrix-Athus railway line, used mainly for freight transport, it is completely peaceful and surrounded by nature. Don't miss the two castles in Biourge... go and admire them from the driveway of the first and through the porch of the second.

Starting from Masbourg, the forest trails will take you halfway to the Fourneau Saint-Michel, an estate comprising the open-air museum of rural life in Wallonia and the Iron Museum, with a return trip through the heights of the Masblette valley.

Lavaux-Saint-Anne is an ideal place to start a hike that is half countryside, half forest, not only in Famenne but also in Calestienne. The route offers beautiful panoramic views of the Famenne depression. The Château de Lavaux-Sainte-Anne is listed as a major heritage site in Wallonia. It is open to visitors and features 32 furnished and decorated rooms, 3 themed museums, a wetland area and a deer park.Revogne Castle is not open to visitors but is clearly visible on arrival in the village from the other side of the Wimbe. The route passes through the old gate of the medieval enclosure and the small church located on the hillside below the castle. The third historical gem of the hike is the imposing building of the Ferme d'Esclaye. However, the castle is not visible from public paths.
