Riemst walks

A somewhat challenging hike starting from the Moulin du Broukay and the Tour d’Eben-Ezer in Eben, on the northern slope of the Geer valley, leading to the Montagne Saint-Pierre Nature Reserve, on the other side of the stream. The reserve offers some fine views of the Meuse valley and the Albert Canal.

A fairly varied walk around the Albert Canal and part of Montagne Saint-Pierre, including a short detour into Dutch territory. The route passes by Neercanne Castle, where the Maastricht Treaty was signed on 9 December 1991.

This walk explores some of the region's gems. The route passes successively by a mill on the Geer (Jeker in Dutch) with a wooden paddle wheel that is still fully functional, Neercanne Castle, the Cannerbos, a magnificent tree-lined avenue in the Milleniumbos, a few vineyards, the old Nekum mill (no longer with a wheel), the Maastricht Fort plateau with some beautiful views of the city, Huis de Torentjes, a curious cave/chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes, the Zonneberg, the Slavantebos, the panoramic site of the former ENCI quarry, the Villa Castrum (admire the tuffeau stone used in its renovation) and, finally, the strange and extremely rare feature of the Geer, which passes under the Albert Canal via a siphon. All in all, this route offers a multitude of historical and educational points of interest for young and old alike.

An unusual walk starting from the small village of Lanaye, traversing the Montagne Saint-Pierre nature reserve from the Albert Canal, before reaching the Geer valley via the Fort d'Eben-Emael. The route also offers stunning views of the Lanaye locks and the Meuse valley across the border.

This is on the marked route "Lanaye (I2-4 Blue): Beyond the Banks - Montagne Saint-Pierre", but starting from the Quai de Caster car park instead of the church in Lanaye. Follow the blue diamond markings.

A pleasant and varied walk on the plateau and around the Geer valley. Starting from the small village of Houtain-Saint-Siméon, the route joins that of Heure-le-Romain, following tree-lined paths to reach Les Hauts de Froidmont and returning through the undergrowth on the southern slope of the Geer valley. The route passes several former quarries, now converted into nature reserves.

This hike, on the borders of Wallonia, Flanders and the Netherlands, crosses the Montagne Saint-Pierre on either side of the Albert Canal, ending at the Lanaye lock, which allows barges to reach the Meuse in the direction of Maastricht.Before that, the route follows small paths along the Geer. There are several beautiful views of the Meuse valley, the locks and the nearby hills.

The last village to the west of the Hesbaye plateau and therefore surrounded by fields, Houtain-Saint-Siméon is also ideally situated for exploring the routes of the Geer Valley. This route ventures into the valley twice, following shaded paths and sunken lanes. Walk suggested by the walking club "Les Pantouflards de Wihogne" (FFBMP, LG041).

A refreshing country walk along the slopes and plateau of the Geer valley, featuring sunken lanes and paths running alongside the stream. Walk organised by the walking club "Les Pantouflards de Wihogne" (FFBMP, LG041).

The centuries-old cultivation of countless cherry, pear and apple trees has earned Oupeye the title of Walloon Commune of Fruit Growing.Although the few hectares of vineyards are more recent, the wine produced in Heure-le-Romain is gradually improving in quality and regularly wins awards.

Departure from the Pêcherie du Fer à Cheval in Heure-le-Romain. There is a large car park available.Set off on this lovely walk of about 1 hour through fields and streams.

A walk through meadows and fields, passing through orchards. As an added bonus, you can stop off at the ice cream parlour in Richelle.

A pleasant walk in the north-western part of the town of Tongeren, following old tree-lined railway tracks, crossing the Herkwinning Nature Reserve and taking in a few castles and fortified farms in a varied environment of copses, low-stem orchards, meadows and fields.

Circular walk between the Meuse and the Albert Canal.

Easy walk in Hermalle-sous-Argenteau, accessible to people with reduced mobility.

A magnificent walk starting from the village of Fouron-le-Comte ('s-Gravenvoeren in Dutch), somewhat hilly, passing through the Altenbroek woodland reserve and venturing partially beyond the Belgian-Dutch border.

A pleasant and easy walk through fields where traditional crops such as beetroot, wheat and winter barley alternate, sometimes interspersed with fields of potatoes, corn and even flax. The walk passes in front of the famous Lantin prison and Fort Lantin (one of the twelve forts built to defend Liège at the end of the 19th century) and returns to its starting point via the RAVeL (Réseau Autonome des Voies Lentes), built on the former Liers-Ans railway line.

I invite you to discover the Blegny-Mine estate and the beautiful surrounding region by following bucolic paths and trails, some of which lead through the woods.

A stone's throw from the heart of the city, this route takes walkers through meadows and woods, avoiding crowded neighbourhoods and streets, while offering breathtaking views of the city and the Meuse valley. It is not uncommon to come across a herd of sheep or cattle. The region's mining past is also evident. At the lowest point of the route, you will pass through the old quarter of Liège with its dead-end streets and stairways.

A walk combining town and more natural areas.
