Easy
Departure from Orp-Jauche (Brabant Wallon)
A pleasant walk, both rural and countryside-like, along and around the streams of the Petite Gette and Henri-Fontaine in the village of Orp (municipality of Orp-Jauche). The route includes a short detour into the Paradis municipal nature and educational reserve – a former chalk quarry. Before heading back, the route takes a brief side trip to the village of Petit-Hallet, returning via the GR® 579.
This route can be shortened by three kilometres if necessary.

Moderate
Departure from Orp-Jauche (Brabant Wallon)
Almost exclusively rural, this circular takes you through the hilly part of Hesbaye, straddling the provinces of Liège and Walloon Brabant. A few old mills dot the route: the one at Jauche-la-Marne, which the route bypasses, and those at Petit-Hallet, which can be seen from a little further away. In Orp-le-Petit, the Grande Ferme (18th century), the Pilori, the Château Rose and the rail adventure are likely to catch your interest. Along the way, it is not uncommon to flush out a hare (literally), spot a pheasant or scare off a heron or egret.

Departure from Hannut (Province de Liège)
The Hesbaye region of Liège is not only characterised by its rich agricultural plain, but also by its charming sites, consisting of wetlands, copses and sunken paths. This route, which starts in the village of Petit-Hallet, offers views of the vast plain, but above all allows you to discover pleasant places in the heart or on the outskirts of the villages that stretch along the Henri-Fontaine stream. A few farmhouses and castles can also be seen along the way.

A bit of Mehaigne to start with, including the Wasseiges Nature Reserve, some pastures on the outskirts of Ambresin, a stretch of ancient Roman road north of Ambresin, a (somewhat hidden) castle in Merdorp and, above all, plenty of country lanes… that’s today’s itinerary!

Enjoy the fresh air in the rolling countryside south of Jodoigne.Fields and crops await you.Things to see along the route: a few chapels, Dongelberg Castle (a kind of local coliseum that has suffered the ravages of time), a cross commemorating a former French military cemetery, in the distance the twisted bell tower of the Chapel of Notre-Dame-du-Marché on the Grand-Place in Jodoigne, the pretty village of Jauchelette.

Moderate
Departure from Incourt (Belgique) (Brabant Wallon)
A sense of solitude prevails in these vast rural expanses.Few roads, few tracks, plenty of country lanes – some with grass that isn’t too short, and the traditional cobblestones of Walloon Brabant – will take you through the countryside to discover farms with monumental porches.The morning mist or the afternoon sun lend markedly different atmospheres to these majestic buildings and to the countryside, which is devoted to growing vegetables and cereals, as well as to livestock farming and the production of apples and pears.
The Mehaigne and its surroundings between Avin and Meeffe via Ambresin

Moderate
Departure from Hannut (Province de Liège)
A peaceful walk, both rural and countryside, along the banks and immediate surroundings of the Mehaigne and its tributary, the Soile, between the villages of Avin and Meeffe, passing through Ambresin. The most pleasant section is undoubtedly the one that runs alongside the Mehaigne (known asthe"Sentier de la Mouhagne"), but the country lanes, lined with tall hedges that provide ideal shade along the route, also have their charm.

Difficult
Departure from Hannut (Province de Liège)
This31st stage is a gentle stroll through the countryside, with distance being the only real challenge. No significant elevation gain, no meadows to cross. Small country lanes with very little traffic, apart from a long climb over old cobblestones – just enough to rouse the walker from any lethargy. And the scenery is as beautiful as ever for those who love the countryside – though, of course, this depends on the season and the weather. Once again, I prefer the countryside to the city, and there are very few villages along the way.
