Ohey walks

This circular starting from Jallet first passes by the work of art entitled 'Renversement' (Overturning), which has been overturned and lying on the side of the path for quite some time, a simple reminder that all human action has certain limits.Then, turning towards Goesnes and taking the Tige du Sart aux Roches, the route crosses the countryside towards Jamagne in the direction of the Triffoy Nature Reserve before climbing and then descending towards Vyle, its church and its castle, which has been converted into a residence.After Vyle Castle, the walk takes a long detour along the memory trail, that of the Secret Army and the Bagatelle parachute drop zone, between Pailhe and Goesnes, during the Second World War.On the way back, the route passes in front of the Château-Ferme de Tahier before returning to the Chêne à l'Image, the forest and its Trivouac and finally the magnificent Château d'Hodoumont.

Starting from Bois d'Ohey, the route leads to the Struvaux stream and its many "little bridges", then through the woods to the hamlet of Strud and back via Haltinne, on a more open route.

After descending into the Samson valley, you reach the site of the old Bizonzon sandstone quarries, which were abandoned more than half a century ago.

Part of the Sentiers d'Art (Art Trails) is included in this hike. You will have the opportunity to discover four works of art in a natural setting: the Triskele, the Sans refuge, the Eau d'ici and the Chaise brûlée.

"La Fête de Mai in Gesves is a wonderful artistic and human adventure in a rural setting. In 2001, nature and art lovers came up with a bold project: to invite artists from all over the world to create works of art in natural materials in the countryside. The May Festival is now 25 years old! In 25 years, our landscape has been enriched, in Gesves alone, by 136 works of land art. Some have returned to nature, while others still stand proudly for the enjoyment of hikers."Quote from Christian Beelaert, president of Vagabond'art asbl. All these works of art are linked by hiking trails that are accessible all year round.
