Limbourg walks

Between Limbourg and Goé, the small hamlet of Hèvremont marks the entrance to the wood of the same name. It will appeal to lovers of old buildings as well as walkers, who will enjoy the wooded surroundings and the view over the Bovegnée valley. In the past, the inhabitants of Hèvremont, mostly farmers, spinners or weavers, were parishioners of Goé.

Limbourg dominates the region from its rocky outcrop. In this ancient fortress, it is pleasant to stroll through the streets and around Place Saint-Georges. With its preserved charm inherited from the Middle Ages, exceptional monuments and splendid views of the surrounding area, it is truly a rare gem in Wallonia!

The Lassaulx Cross commemorates Mademoiselle Lassaulx, who was fatally attacked on Friday 20 March 1903 whilst returning from Verviers, where she had gone to sell her butter and eggs and do some shopping. She succumbed to her injuries the following day. Ultimately, no culprit was formally identified. Five years later, another murder took place in the village: Mrs Ruwet suffered the same fate as her friend, Mrs Lassaulx. The investigation revealed absolutely nothing, and a veil of mystery shrouded these unpunished crimes.

Solwaster, a small village at the foot of the fagne, 16 km from Verviers, is unique in that it is located between two of the most beautiful rivers in the fagne: the Statte, which rises in the peat bogs of the Hautes-Fagnes, in the Wihonfagne fagne, and the Hoëgne, which rises in the Polleur fagne. These two rivers welcome us into a magical landscape of fens and forests.

The Sawe and the Statte are two beautiful streams that cascade down from the Fagnes plateau and converge near the village of Solwaster. The ascent of the Sawe is surprising for the diversity of views in the forest and valley. The only thing missing is the Nutons. After crossing the Fagne and its typical open landscapes, you reach the Statte, which you descend along its waterfalls. Water is omnipresent on this route.

The route is marked (yellow rectangles) and shown on the "Jalhay-Spa-Stavelot-Theux" walking map, available from the Tourist Office.The first half is a superb walk (with a few difficult and potentially slippery sections) along the Sawe.The second half (when you leave the Sawe) is the return to Solwaster on a more relaxing but more mundane path.There is also the option of a longer 8.5 km version (blue rectangles).

A very beautiful circular route starting from the pretty village of Tiège (Jalhay).

This magnificent walk, mainly through woodland, offers a leisurely exploration of two of the three iconic streams of the Hautes-Fagnes on the south-western side of Baraque Michel. The route follows one stream upstream and the other downstream.Feel free to walk the route in both directions, as the experience of a rushing stream is often better when walking upstream. You will most likely discover other aspects of it.The third stream in the region is the Sawe, which the route follows very briefly between kilometres 2 and 3. Numerous footbridges and boardwalks make it easier to navigate this wild, picturesque, sometimes chaotic, sometimes muddy environment, where the paths are covered in rocks and roots.
