Neupré walks

This long, almost entirely woodland circular route takes you on a journey to discover the natural beauty—often unexpected—located just south of the ‘fiery city’, not far from the industrial activity of the Meuse Valley. Whilst the aim of the walk is, as its title suggests, the viewpoint at La Roche aux Faucons overlooking the Ourthe Valley and the town of Esneux, the route also takes you through some beautiful woodlands such as the Bois de Plainevaux, the Bois de Nomont-Famelette, the undivided state-owned forest of La Vecquée and its arboretum, where the sequoia alone is worth the detour.The curious Source du Père Antoine will surprise many on the way back.Do stop off along the way to admire the Château de Plainevaux.

This is a lovely route starting from Rotheux, very pleasant and without any notable difficulties, which will take you along the woods and meadows of Bonsgnée, up to Berleur and back to the starting point through pleasant countryside with some lovely views of both sides of the valley. You may even spot some of the local wildlife, including Highland cattle, geese, horses and other inhabitants of the region.

There is a legend written by Mr Daniel Van Alken, published in the 100th issue of Cahiers de Jadis and edited by the non-profit organisation Mémoire de Neupré, which tells the story of a lone wolf. This legend is set in Plainevaux. On this walk, you will discover the places where the wolf is said to have passed. Look for its footprints or tracks! If you don’t find the wolf’s, you’ll discover plenty of others… wild boars, roe deer, badgers. Don’t forget to look up to discover some magnificent scenery!

For many people, Seraing is an industrial city, but what they don't know is that one-third of the area is covered by forests. This hike takes you on a journey of discovery through these forests and the many streams that run through them (the Neuville, Vecquée, Chéra and Ville en Court streams), passing by some iconic sites such as the Mare aux Joncs, the Arboretum, the Trou d'Ausny and the Source du Père Antoine.

A magnificent walk with superb views. I recommend it in late autumn or early spring when there are no leaves on the trees so you can fully enjoy the scenery. Do not attempt this walk when it is raining, when there is snow, or when the Ourthe is in flood.

Starting from the well-known long-distance hiking trail (signposted route to Santiago de Compostela), this route revisits the wonderful site of the circular Ourthe, passing by the old water pump towards the village of Ham. The idea behind this route is to limit the "concrete" sections to what is strictly necessary.

Loop through the woods of Sart-Timan, starting in Boncelles. It crosses the Sart-Tilman Golf Course and the university grounds.

This is a circular in the Liège Condroz region, mostly through forest, although the start and end are more rural.It is always a pure delight to walk in the woods of Esneux or Anthisnes, whatever the season.Houte-si-Plou has already been the subject of much discussion and, according to legend, much water, as it is said to be a miller asking his son to "listen for rain" when he went to bed and there was not enough water in the stream to run the mill.Nowadays, the expression Houte-si-Plou refers more to an imaginary place, unknown, non-existent or simply located at the end of the world, far from civilisation.

A lovely walk for those who enjoy nature and peace and quiet. Starting from the Esneux bridge, this route begins with an uphill walk through a small wood, then continues downhill towards the pretty little hamlets of Ham and Lhonneux. You then follow the circular route of the Ourthe via the Ravel, with views of La Roche-aux-Faucons. Return via the Athénée area to the Esneux bridge.

This walk allows you to discover one of the most beautiful circular loops of the Ourthe, starting from the small town of Esneux. The highlight is the panoramic view that greets walkers from the Roche aux Faucons.

A very strenuous walk along the heights on either side of the Ourthe Valley, starting from Esneux. The route heads to the small village of Fontin via a steep path, before descending to the hamlet of Méry. It then climbs towards the village of Frêchereux, cutting across the circular bend in the river, before finally following the river and returning to the starting point via the hills.

A pleasant, easy walk through woods and countryside in the Liège Ardennes.

This lovely circular walk starts from the Adeps centre in Sart Tilman and passes by Colonster Castle. This hike takes place mainly in the woods on small paths that are impassable with a pushchair.

Entirely on the right bank of the Ourthe, this hike will take you to the hamlets of Méry, Hautgné, Hayen and Cortil on the heights of Tilff, as well as the vast Bois des Manants forest, both on the way there and on the way back.

Venture into enchanting forests, walk alongside meadows and fields of wheat, flax and rye, take in superb landscapes, and pass through villages whose architectural character remains intact. As you wander along the paths and trails, discover farmhouses bearing coats of arms and humble dwellings to which sandstone or limestone lends its nobility and value; immersing yourself in the heart of the Condroz means discovering the sources of the elements: earth, stone and water.

A peaceful nature walk in the countryside above the Ourthe, spread across the municipalities of Sprimont and Esneux.The few forest passages make for a pleasant outing with varied landscapes.

20 km route of the ADEPS walk organised in Fraiture in Condroz. A beautiful circular route in the Condroz region of Liège. The start is at the church in Fraiture. There are several options for shortening the route if necessary.

This hike will take you from Rivage station to Hamoir station via the villages of Pont-de-Sçay, Comblain-au-Pont and Comblain-Fairon. Along the way, you will pass through vast agricultural and forest areas, discover the Ourthe valley at times, and pass close to the Abîme cave and an imposing square farm, typical of the Condroz region.

From mischievous nutons in the Ardennes forests to Satan, who in a fit of rage created the Fonds de Quarreux, to macralles bewitching hikers in the woods around Vielsalm, many legends haunt the Amblève and Salm valleys.

This stage ofthe GRP®571starts at Pont-de-Sçay near the confluence of the Ourthe and Amblève rivers, climbs up the Amblève slope, crosses Oneux and Chambralles, rejoins the valley and crosses the river at Martinrive. It continues on the other bank of the Amblève, passing through Aywaille, Heid des Gattes and Remouchamps.

Villers-le-Temple, an ancient village marked by the Middle Ages, is set in a landscape of streams, bridges and paths connecting woods and farmland. Houripont and the Chessaine bridge bear witness to these historical passages. The Wetai and Fond d'Oxhe rivers have carved out cool, shady valleys that accompany the walk. Around the village, the Bois de Bourgogne recalls its seigneurial history, the Bois des Dames feeds local legends, and the Bellegrange and Chaumont woods alternate between dense forests and bright clearings. Schist and limestone, discreet fauna and forest flora make this hike a peaceful and immersive experience, perfect for observing nature and enjoying the peace and quiet.

The Condroz region is full of (small) castles and (large) farms, most of which are built from local stone. Some examples can be found in Ellemelle, Houchenée (castle), Baugnée (farm slightly north-east of the route) and Fraiture. The castle of Baugnée, on the other hand, is of a completely different style.

A very beautiful walk on the outskirts of Liège, mainly through woods. It passes through the Streupas moor, joins the Ourthe and runs parallel to it as far as Colonster Castle, before returning through the Sart Tilman woods.

You will descend towards the Amblève, which you will follow along the left bank. You will climb back up towards Oneux, where you will have a beautiful view of the Amblève valley. After a circular route, you’ll return to Oneux to head down what the locals call ‘les tartines’. A few metres after the start of the descent, straight ahead, you will see a lovely viewpoint overlooking Comblain-aux-Ponts and the Ourthe valley.
