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

One difficulty on this route: see the "description" box Hike without description to be followed using the Visorando app.

A short hike in the woods of Ham and Roly, and along the Sambre. You can hike with a dog without any problems and also mountain bike, but perhaps in the other direction as the Bois Roly has quite a steep gradient, which is easier to descend by bike than to climb.

A walk that is half forest, half countryside between the villages of Fraire, Saint-Aubin and Morialmé.The route takes you along paths connecting villages, forest and country lanes and small country roads. Please take care not to use paths or forest tracks that are closed to the public (to allow wildlife to rest).

At the beginning of the 19th century, there were around ten water crossings on the Meuse between Givet and Namur. After the railway line between Givet and Dinant was opened in 1863, the water crossing – which was then in operation in both summer and winter – enabled the inhabitants of Falmagne and Falmignoul to cross the Meuse to catch the train at Waulsort.The Waulsort water crossing is the only one still in operation, but only during the (good) tourist season.

A circular hike to discover the aquatic resources of the Hermeton between Vodelée and Soulme, as well as three listed sites: the Chapel of Notre-Dame de Bonne Fontaine, the Moulin de Soulme and the Church of Sainte-Colombe de Soulme.

Despite the first few kilometres being very easy, make no mistake, this walk still requires some stamina with a section featuring handrails along the Hermeton and the climb up the aptly named Tienne d'Enfer (Hell's Hill).
