Natoye and Braibant

A lovely walk through woods, paths and quiet roads. Suitable for everyone, but there are a few muddy patches if it rains. Don’t forget to take a short detour at the end of the route to visit Skreuvre Castle, which inspired Franquin to create Champignac Castle in the Spirou comic strip.

A walk through the woods along quiet paths and country lanes. At the end of the route, enjoy the view of Skeuvre Castle (private), which inspired Franquin to create the Château de Champignac in the Spirou comic strip.

This walk takes place in the Bocq valley between Spontin and Purnode. It takes you through woods and countryside to the villages of Durnal and Dorinne. Views of the river, the forest and the hills, now increasingly 'decorated' with wind turbines.

A beautiful hike through woods and along quiet roads. The trail starts in the centre of the village of Jassogne, where there is a small car park for six cars. Alternatively, there is a larger car park next to a school, but it is best to use this outside school hours. There are beautiful views of the villages of Jassogne, Maillen and Ivoy.

This walk follows a discreet valley where water and forest have shaped the landscape for centuries. Each place evokes an ancient history, often linked to the passage and work of man. Sorinne-la-Longue is a village that stretches out like an ancient road, already frequented in Roman times. The Faya wood, whose name comes from the beech tree, offers a cool and calm atmosphere. Bethléem is a place steeped in symbolism, formerly associated with refuge and passage. At the Inzéfonds quarries, blue stone has left its mark on the local architecture and landscape. In the Gesves wood and the Chaumont valley, the forest becomes denser and more enveloping. The Samson stream structures the valley. Around it, the Bizonzon and neighbouring streams are home to a discreet and varied fauna. It is therefore a peaceful walk between water, stone and wood, ideal for slowing down and observing.

Parking at the start. Descent towards Bauche in the shade. At Bauche, follow Chansin then head back up towards Durnal at the crossroads near the barriers. The climb is long but the surface is more pleasant and flatter than on the descent. Hike without description, to be followed with the Visorando app.

After approximately 960 metres, the slope is steep, then reasonably uphill for about 2.3 kilometres.From there, it is all downhill until the last 200 metres.Very steep descent at around 4 kilometres, with a chain provided as a handrail.Start and finish at the same place. Car park 30 metres away.

A varied hike in the heart of the Namur Condroz, amidst deep forests, hidden valleys and Walloon heritage. The route passes through magnificent wooded areas such as the Bois des Loges, the Bois du Sergent and the Bois d’Insefy, before reaching the superb Bocq Valley and its steep-sided landscapes. It also passes through the villages of Durnal, Evrehailles and Chansin, as well as near Harnoy Castle, the Niersant Cave and the remarkable site of Tienne du Hé. Crupet, listed among the most beautiful villages in Wallonia, reveals its famous medieval keep surrounded by water, as well as the Saint-Antoine Cave and its famous devil. The typical terrain of the Condroz, formed over 350 million years ago, alternates between limestone ridges, damp valleys, beech forests and hedgerow landscapes. With its unspoilt nature, local history and wild atmosphere along the Bocq, this walk promises a wonderful immersion in one of the most beautiful regions of Wallonia.
