Mettet walks

The Molignée is a small river in Wallonia formed by the confluence of the Biesmerée and Behoûde streams at Ermonton-sur-Biert. This circular walk follows these two streams and the nascent Molignée.

A pleasant little walk through the countryside around Mettet.

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).

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). See hunting dates below

A beautiful hike (just over 3 hours), much appreciated, combining forests, streams, ponds and countryside. You will also be able to admire the castle of Sart-Eustache. There are a few short sections on tarmac, but these are necessary to reach other beautiful sections where the forest dominates. Hunting dates below

A short circular walk through fields and woods between Denée and Maredret, taking part of the Ravel route. This circular can be taken in either direction, there is a slight incline. It is not accessible with a pushchair.

Starting from the hamlet of Les Bruyères, this walk first takes you to Wagnée before introducing you to the Tournibus forest and the surrounding countryside on the borders of Biesme (Mettet), Fromiée (Gerpinnes) and Hanzinelle (Florennes).Superb forest and countryside landscapes, peaceful and sheltered from the hustle and bustle of modern life.A real delight of trees, crops and flowers in tune with the seasons.A unique discovery between the GR® 129 Renaix-Dinant and the GRP® 125 Tour de l'Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse.You can also start at Place d'Hanzinelle (easy parking) if you are coming from Florennes or Gerpinnes.

An easy walk in the vicinity of Saint-Gérard, crossing vast fields and a few woods via dirt tracks and small, quiet tarmac roads. Beautiful distant views across the fields, a lovely view of Brogne Abbey, and a passage through the Bois de Neffe woods.

A lovely walk around Maredsous Abbey, alternating between woodland and countryside.

Short walk through the Sosoye mountain nature reserve and its viewpoint over the village and the Molignée valley.

Discovering several castles and an ancient abbey, this circular walk between Bioul and Saint-Gérard runs alongside the Neffe woods and crosses beautiful countryside. The Château de Bioul, a wine-growing estate, is well worth a visit.

You can start from Florennes Central Station. Head towards Rue Gérard de Cambrai, and when you reach Rue de Corenne, go under the Ravel bridge and continue for about 2 km. You will come to a second bridge, with a sawmill on your right. Take the path on the left after 60 metres, turn right for 1.5 km, turn left at the first crossroads and continue until you cross a large brick bridge. Go down this bridge onto the Ravel on the right, which will take you back to Florennes Central Station. After a beautiful walk in the woods, this hike joins the Ravel line 136A, which can take you to Maredsous or Fosses la Ville.

In the heart of the Namur Condroz region lies the village of Falaën, one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia. Starting from here, you will pass the ruins of Montaigle Castle.

A varied route that passes through the village of Falaën with its stone houses, the bucolic Flavion valley, the imposing ruins of the medieval castle of Montaigle and the Montagne de Sosoye Nature Reserve with its beautiful limestone meadows.

Also known as the Forêt des Minières due to the region’s mining history, this forest will enchant many a hiker. Nature reigns supreme here and, apart from a bit of noise pollution near the N932, it is utterly peaceful, with birdsong or the rustling of leaves in the wind depending on the season and the weather.

The hike takes you through countryside (mostly) and forest (a little) in Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse between the villages of Lesve (municipality of Profondeville), Bioul (municipality of Anhée) and Saint-Gérard (municipality of Mettet).In addition to nature, the route offers views – or sometimes just glimpses – of Frahan Castle (Lesve), Neffe Castle (private, turrets visible in the woods on the west side as you approach Bioul), Bioul Castle and its vineyards, the old mill and Saint-Gérard de Brogne Abbey.

Not familiar with Onhaye? Here's a little preview!Don't worry, there aren't only bell towers in the region, but you will come across a few along the way.And not just those of churches and chapels... there are also one or two castles with turrets similar to the usual bell towers of our villages.

This long circular route alternates harmoniously between countryside and forest, making a complete tour of the Florennes (military) air base via the (almost) shortest possible route on public paths and trails, avoiding busy roads. One difficulty on this route: see the "description" box.
