Mont-de-l'Enclus walks

Start at Café des Acacias, which has ample parking. The first part of the walk is on the GR® 122 before entering the forest. It is a lovely walk with benches and picnic areas. The path is very easy going with pine needles. Refreshments are available (with terrace) at Café des Acacias. A very pleasant walk in dry weather

Village lanes and footpaths starting from the Maison du Parc du Pays des Collines. Very quiet village roads where you’ll come across various animals (cows, meadows with magnificent horses, goats, peacocks, chickens, etc.). Dogs must be kept on a lead, except on the footpaths (watch out for cats, which are often found on the footpaths in this area).

The iconic hill of Tournaisis and its slopes offer panoramic views and trails or paths that you can walk, run or climb. Your steps will take you through countryside dotted with hamlets and farms towards the Scheldt and its Léaucourt cut (a former meander of the river). You will discover a discreet and modest countryside that is not lacking in charm.

The fifth stage is short and straightforward to describe. Starting from Pecq, it runs to Tournai, following the Scheldt. It is by no means monotonous, however, as the river lies on one side, whilst the scenery on the other side is ever-changing. And the centre of Tournai is well worth a visit.

Here is the route for a beautiful walk around Ellezelles (Picardy Wallonia). This circuit will take you to the heights of this locality, renowned for being a hotbed of witches. Capital of the Pays des Collines, it is particularly attractive to walkers for the quality of its paths and trails and its landscapes.The hike is located west of Ellezelles and passes through farmland. Please note that the witches and works of art are not on this circuit, but on the Sentier de l'étrange (Path of Strangeness), which follows another route marked with this name, east of Ellezelles

With this fourth stage, it’s time to tackle the westernmost part of the Tour de Wallonie as you head towards the Scheldt, but not before climbing the area’s toughest hill, Mont-Saint-Aubert.

This circular route takes you through the Scheldt plain between the two villages of Esquelmes and Ramegnies-Chin. It is a rural route along paths and small country roads. Take care when crossing the Tournai road. You will discover the pretty church of Esquelmes near the Scheldt, lined with trees, and the many calvaries and chapels. You will walk along paths lined with hedges and take small passages. At the edge of the Scheldt, you will see Mont Saint-Aubert on the other bank.

Discover the banks of the Bovenschelde, in the heart of the beautiful De Donk site, where water and land still tell their ancient stories. Here, geology and landscape come together to offer an authentic and peaceful natural environment.

This hike takes you on a journey of discovery through a secret corner of the Pays des Collines, where water, stone and legends come together in an enchanting setting.Follow the Tordoir stream, between meadows and ancient paths, towards Le Quesnoit, Marloyau and the Ferme de Cambroncheau, witnesses to a rural past that is still alive today.At the Philosopher's Cross, nature invites you to be silent: it is said that a wise man meditated here, or that a pilgrim found peace here.The Ronsart stream will then lead you to the mysterious Lanterne, where a strange flame is said to shine from time to time.Hubermont and Montagne Taverne reveal the geology of the area: sand, silt and iron-rich stones are home to rare flora and discreet fauna.The return via the Étrange trail concludes this walk through nature and mystery.

Situated in the Pays des Collines Nature Park, the Oeudeghien region is devoted to farming and livestock rearing. There’s no sign of any industrial activity on the horizon. The natural rolling hills of this part of Picardy Wallonia offer magnificent scenery.

Here is a unique route that takes in some of the less-visited corners of the Pays des Collines Nature Reserve and ventures into the hills between Ellezelles and Flobecq. It offers the chance to visit the nature reserve’s eco-museum and two beautiful churches, those of Flobecq and Wodecq.

A walk to discover Froyennes (church, Château Beauregard, Saint-Éloi fountain, watermill) and the surrounding area. Please note: muddy paths in wet weather!

Adeps 5 km walk in Flobecq🍀 Paths and quiet country lanes, easy route, no uphill sections A few benches along the way to rest Various animals add to the scenery (donkeys, cows, horses, sheep) 😊

Setting off to explore the Pierre Brunehaut, an imposing menhir in the Hollain area, requires a detour; but for enthusiasts of megalithic sites, it is a detour well worth taking. To reach it, the walk follows the old Tournai–Cambrai Roman road, then crosses a small section of French territory to reach Belgium at Wiers.

Walk through the hamlet of Morlies and along a short stretch of the Vieux Canal.

A walk along the towpaths of the new and old canals from Nimy to Péronnes. At the start, you can admire the two giant locks that have replaced the eight locks that you will then pass as you walk down the old canal. Admire the old lock houses on the old canal. However, be careful in strong winds between points (8) and (9) as the trees are fragile and it is best to avoid this section. The entire hike is on tarmac or paved paths.

Gravel or hybrid bike route from Taintignies to the Marais de Fretin and Lac du Héron. The route is mainly on tarmac at the start, then there are quite a few ‘white’ tracks. A very lovely ride, with Lac du Héron as the highlight.
