Profondeville walks

A short walk along the hillside, almost entirely in the woods. Ideal in warm weather.

The hike takes you through countryside (mostly) and forest (a little) in Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse between the villages of Lesve (municipality of Profondeville), Bioul (municipality of Anhée) and Saint-Gérard (municipality of Mettet).In addition to nature, the route offers views – or sometimes just glimpses – of Frahan Castle (Lesve), Neffe Castle (private, turrets visible in the woods on the west side as you approach Bioul), Bioul Castle and its vineyards, the old mill and Saint-Gérard de Brogne Abbey.

The Transmolignée is a linear hike that connects the Annevoie Gardens to the Benedictine Abbey of Maredsous via forest paths and country roads. To avoid returning along the same route, I suggest returning via the Sosoye State Nature Reserve. The only difficulty is the number of kilometres involved.

This is a fairly challenging walk that allows you to discover the hill of Petite Hulle, the vast and high slope of Grande Hulle on the edge of the Meuse plateau, as well as the viewpoints of Sibérie and Couleuvrine and the Meuse towpath in Profondeville. The fairly steep slope of the Grande Hulle and the total elevation gain make this hike equivalent to a short climb. The route mainly follows dirt roads and trails. There is little tarmac.

Discover a superb 16 km route, mostly through woodland, ideal for nature lovers and those who enjoy a bit of a climb. Follow the grey arrow markings (main route) then the signs for the blue trail no. 16. The route alternates between challenging climbs and magnificent wooded sections, with nearly 80 per cent of the route through the forest, offering a pleasant, shaded setting. Around the 10-kilometre mark, you can stop off at the restaurant Les 7 Meuses, the perfect spot for a drink or a bite to eat whilst enjoying an exceptional view. The start and finish are on the village square, where you can enjoy a coffee before or after your walk.

A varied route that allows you to discover the most interesting aspects of the municipality of Wépion. It first crosses the Marlagne estate, with its fascinating and turbulent history. It continues through the hills of Wépion, offering distant views, and ends along the banks of the Meuse with its castles and beautiful villas. The route mainly uses small tarmac roads (those allergic to tarmac should give this a miss), a few dirt tracks, and the towpath.

A superb loop starting from Salet, in the province of Namur, which takes you through woods, meadows, wild valleys and limestone ridges.
