Ouffet walks

Set in the heart of the countryside, the hamlet of Himbe (and its castle) is a ‘pure nature’ spot, ideal for setting off on a lovely walk.This long walk presents no particular difficulties apart from a few rather muddy sections along the Néblon.Beavers are clearly present along the banks of the Néblon between kilometres 5 and 6.Shortly afterwards, the walk follows the Néblon leat (there is an old mill further on in Hamoir, off the route).The steepest climb of the walk takes you to the hamlet of Hermanne and its old water tower, converted into a residence and beacon overlooking the magnificent buildings.A stone’s throw further on, the walk passes through the village of Jenneret and its splendid buildings, not least the church and the castle-farm.

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.

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.

Come and discover the Vignobles cave and its climbing rock, the Sy chapel and the viewpoints from the rocks. Pass by the cross of the priest of Xhignesse, the shepherd's cross and the Saint-Donat chapel.

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

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.

This fairly long circular loop starting from the Palogne estate (large car park) begins by following the course of the Ourthe for a few kilometres before entering a forest and then countryside setting with numerous panoramic views of the plateau overlooking the Ourthe and its tributaries. On the Ourthe: egrets, ducks, cormorants and herons await you.You will see the rocks and the "beach" of Sy, where you can read an information panel about the aborted Meuse-Moselle canal project. Further on, you will pass close to Lassus Castle, which can be glimpsed between the tall trees in its grounds. In Vieuxville, it is probably the resurgence of the Lembrée that will catch your eye, before you see the limestone grasslands further on and finally the fortified castle of Logne. With a bit of luck (in season), you can even visit (for a fee) the ruins of this fortified castle built on top of a rocky outcrop.

A varied hike, between quiet asphalt roads, paths, countryside, villages and crossing Durbuy. Lovely views.

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.

This walk takes you through the countryside and forests on either side of the Tige de Xhoris to discover, on the north side, the undulating landscape of the Ourthe valley and, on the south side, once you leave the woods, that of the Lembrée valley.

At the intersection of the Condroz, Ardennes and Famenne regions, walk through limestone grasslands, forests and country lanes to reach Logne Castle and back. The bridges over the Aisne (5) and the Lembrée, after the (13), have temporarily disappeared. If you start this hike, please bear in mind that you may have to wade across the river (5) as there is no other alternative.

This variation of our Three Provinces Walk in Bonsin is a little shorter but, it should be noted, involves a little more tarmac on fairly quiet country roads.                     

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.

No, the walk doesn’t follow the banks of the Ourthe for 18 km… that would probably be very pretty but too monotonous over such a distance.Starting from the centre of Barvaux, the route begins by climbing the hill on the western side towards Durbuy (which you can visit off the trail) and reaches the Ourthe at the new relief car park.From there, the walk follows the river for just over 3 km before leaving it to reach the plateau between Tohogne and Herbet.After descending to the Ourthe and passing through Bomal, the walk climbs up the other side of the Ourthe and follows the lovely ridge path through the Mont des Pins and Mont Pelé Nature Reserve.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
