Stavelot walks

A circular route almost entirely through woodland along the River Roannay. This route combines two walks: Le Roannay, Yellow Cross and Hé Stienne Red Rectangles.

Walk in the Malchamps Fagnes region through peat bogs, forests and meadows. Set off at sunrise with the sound of deer bellowing in the background.

The surroundings of Trois-Ponts and Coo are mainly forested, with paths and trails running through coniferous and deciduous trees. The rugged terrain highlights the panoramic views of the Ardennes and promises a sometimes very challenging route. In the heart of nature, the route connects with the site of Coo and its lower lake before returning to Trois-Ponts, again mainly through the woods.

Starting from the car park at Domaine de Bérinzenne, the hike begins by crossing the site before gradually entering the forest for just over a third of its total distance. This is followed by a few kilometres of countryside around the village of Creppe before rejoining the forest at the bottom of the Bois de Mambaye. After passing the castle of the same name, which has been converted into a nature education centre, the route quickly joins the Meyerbeer stream and follows it upstream to the Fontaine de Géronstère, one of the many springs in the spa town. Food and refreshments are available on site. Return through the forest and uphill to the starting point.

La Salm Valley, whose real name is Le Glain This stage ofthe GRP®571leaves the Amblève Valley and heads up the slopes of the La Salm Valley, known as Le Glain. The route changes banks several times until it reaches Vielsalm in the Pays des Macralles.

Walk along rivers through a canyon and tour of the Moûpa area.

Following the blue markings, starting from the church square, this route will take you to the highest point in the municipality of Stoumont. You will start with a climb, crossing the pretty hamlets of Roua and Monthouet. Along the way, you will discover the Croix Honnay, which is said to have been planted long ago by a traveller lost in the snow, and the Pyramide, a geodetic marker which, according to legend, was an observation post for Caesar's army. La Vecquée then opens up before you. This large, wide firebreak at the top of the slope is the ancient Roman road that the prince-bishops used in the Middle Ages to travel from Liège to Stavelot Abbey. A historic border between states, it still marks the boundary between Theux and Stoumont today. To descend, you will walk along the Pansîres nature reserve, cross woods and pastures, and come across the Cheval de pierre, a block of quartzite that looks like a lying horse.

Amblève Valley This stage ofthe GRP® 571 starts in Stoumont, passes in front of Froidcourt Castle and crosses the Amblève in Cheneux. The route then descends towards the Coo waterfall, crosses the river again and reaches Trois-Ponts via the Belvédère de Ster.

A splendid hike along the Warche ridges, offering superb panoramic views of the region.The highlight is the beautifully renovated Reinhardstein Castle. In the early 1970s, it was a real ruin that we never imagined would be reborn in such a way! The first 2 kilometres of the walk take place in the countryside. The rest is almost entirely forest, passing notably by the rocky outcrop known as 'Nez de Napoléon', the Robertville dam, the Kalbusch Mill (campsite and tavern open from Thursday to Sunday) and the impressive Warche Quarry.

The Bayehon is known for its waterfall, the second largest in Belgium after Coo. There are many Pouhon springs, naturally carbonated mineral springs, to discover along the route. You will finish with a tour of Reinhardstein Castle.

Would you like to take a beautiful walk in the snow, far from the tourist trails that are overrun as soon as the first snowflakes fall? Then the Vecquée walk is the ideal hike for you. Near Stoumont, at an altitude of 500 metres, snow falls abundantly in this region of the province of Liège. A stone's throw from the Hautes Fagnes, less crowded yet just as beautiful, the Vecquée walk offers an idyllic setting for a winter stroll.

Starting from Spa station, we will pass through the Queen’s House park, climb up to the heights of Marteau with a stop at the Renard viewpoint, then descend towards the village of Marteau. We’ll climb through the cool Rohaimont woods to the Col des Maquisards, where there’s a memorial stone in their honour. We will pass through Gros-Thier to cross Winamplache, climb up to the edge of Creppe and return towards Spa via the Mambaye woods

Starting from Spa, a walk in the woods of Staneux will take you along the little Chawion, where you can see several beaver dams. Further on, the Chawion pond is a good place to take a short break.

Starting from Spa station, we will make a circular tour through the Bois de Staneu, go to the Étang de Chawion and then return via Spaloumont.

The Ru du Grand Chawion is a very pleasant stream that flows north of Spa and is worth following upstream to its wildest parts. The return journey takes you through the beautiful woods of Staneux and a section ofthe GR®5.

A pleasant walk that will take you to the Bayehon Waterfall, the second largest in Belgium. It is fed by the Hautes Fagnes springs, so its flow varies depending on the season. The route takes you through different types of vegetation, from deciduous trees to pines and the Fagne. Most of the route follows streams, which are crossed numerous times by small bridges.

This magnificent walk, mainly through woodland, offers a leisurely exploration of two of the three iconic streams of the Hautes-Fagnes on the south-western side of Baraque Michel. The route follows one stream upstream and the other downstream.Feel free to walk the route in both directions, as the experience of a rushing stream is often better when walking upstream. You will most likely discover other aspects of it.The third stream in the region is the Sawe, which the route follows very briefly between kilometres 2 and 3. Numerous footbridges and boardwalks make it easier to navigate this wild, picturesque, sometimes chaotic, sometimes muddy environment, where the paths are covered in rocks and roots.

Varied route through forests, along a river and around Lake Robertville. With beautiful views of Reinhardstein Castle.

This marked walk, which appears on various walking maps, is one of the most beautiful walks in Belgium. It offers superb views of Reinhardstein Castle, which the walk passes by.

The route is marked (yellow rectangles) and shown on the "Jalhay-Spa-Stavelot-Theux" walking map, available from the Tourist Office.The first half is a superb walk (with a few difficult and potentially slippery sections) along the Sawe.The second half (when you leave the Sawe) is the return to Solwaster on a more relaxing but more mundane path.There is also the option of a longer 8.5 km version (blue rectangles).

The Sawe and the Statte are two beautiful streams that cascade down from the Fagnes plateau and converge near the village of Solwaster. The ascent of the Sawe is surprising for the diversity of views in the forest and valley. The only thing missing is the Nutons. After crossing the Fagne and its typical open landscapes, you reach the Statte, which you descend along its waterfalls. Water is omnipresent on this route.

Solwaster, a small village at the foot of the fagne, 16 km from Verviers, is unique in that it is located between two of the most beautiful rivers in the fagne: the Statte, which rises in the peat bogs of the Hautes-Fagnes, in the Wihonfagne fagne, and the Hoëgne, which rises in the Polleur fagne. These two rivers welcome us into a magical landscape of fens and forests.

Starting from the chapel at Tinseubois, in the Grand-Bois forest near Vielsalm, this is an easy walk suitable for families.The duration of the walk described is calculated on the basis of a leisurely stroll, allowing time to look at the plants, listen to the birds, take photos and stop for breaks. From the Ferme des Mauvaises Pierres, the walk follows the old Belgian-Prussian border, which today separates the province of Liège from the province of Luxembourg.

This beautiful circular forest loop covers some of the countless paths and trails between Theux and Spa. It runs alongside the beautiful Balmoral golf course (Royal Golf Club des Fagnes for purists) and Lake Warfaaz, and offers two lovely views of the spa town of Spa.In terms of nature: lots of deciduous trees, a few areas of pine and spruce, all sufficiently airy so that you don't feel oppressed by overly dense forest. There are many remarkable trees along the route: a few oaks, a beech and a sequoia.

Virtual treasure hunt with the TOTEMUS app in search of the highest point in Belgium: Head for the highest point in Belgium Easy route leading from the Park House to the Signal de Botrange and back to the Park House. After all that effort, what could be better than enjoying a drink or treating yourself to a light meal?

The Charmille du Haut-Marais, dating from the 19th century, is now listed by the Royal Commission for Monuments and Sites.The arbour was built in 1855 by J.R. Nys, a rentier and owner of the estate. It is 573 metres long and consists of around 4,500 hornbeams planted on either side of a pedestrian walkway carved into a tunnel of vegetation, which was very popular at the time.

A lovely walk around Rencheux, suitable for families, not accessible to people with reduced mobility. Can be done in all seasons. Wear good walking shoes. Pets are allowed but must be kept on a lead. Mainly forest paths.

The idea is the GR® 56 but with a little adventure. As a result, we get lost on the edge of the National. The signposting is good, the trails magnificent. This route can be done in two days with a night at the restaurant hotel in Malmedy, covering 16 kilometres on the first day and 20 kilometres on the second to return to the vehicle at Mont Rigi.

This hike on the Hautes Fagnes plateau in the Hautes-Fagnes-Eifel Natural Park will take you to the highest point in Belgium, where you can discover its unique flora and landscape. The hike is more enjoyable during the week (fewer people) in good weather or when there is snow on the ground.

A walk with varied landscapes in the Hautes Fagnes Nature Park. There are many walks to enjoy in this region with its extraordinary landscapes. I invite you to discover the hike we did as a family in July 2019. The children enjoyed the watchtowers, the duckboards, the streams... We even saw a deer. If necessary, it is possible to shorten this route. It is an easy hike as there is little elevation gain, but the path is uneven in places.

The Hautes-Fagnes plateau is pure bliss! Everything there is magnificent... whether the weather is blue skies, mist or snow. Do avoid weekends (too crowded) or rainy weather, however!The two iconic rivers that rise on this plateau near Baraque Michel are the Helle and the Hoëgne. Both are tributaries of the Vesdre, the former at Eupen, the latter at Pepinster.

Discover Noir Flohay, a group of petrified pine trees. In the middle of this landscape typical of the Hautes Fagnes, the return journey is along the Helle, a small river that rises in the Fagnes. There are two possible shortcuts, for circuits of approximately 7 and 13 km respectively.

La Salm Valley, known as Le Glain This stage ofthe GRP®571starts in Vielsalm in the Pays des Macralles, crosses the river at Salmchâteau and enters the Deux Ourthes Nature Park, heading towards the Ardennes plateau and Gouvy.

This Ardennes walk stretches across the heights of the left bank of the Salm. Set mainly in woodland, it offers magnificent views of the region. Relatively far from road traffic, it is a walk that rejuvenates body and mind through its tranquillity and the fresh air that is ever-present. The charming village of Goronne, the tranquillity of the Domaine de Farnières and the hamlet of Bergeval are much-loved stops along the way.

Wide forest paths and country roads take you to Farnières Castle and its chapel. Return via wide forest paths and finish along Vielsalm Lake.

In the Grand-Bois hills near Vielsalm, starting from the Bêchefa clearing, the walk takes you through the Wild Garden and three arboretums. The two most recent are around thirty years old; the third, over a century old, is home to trees of impressive size.

Discover the landscapes and history of the people who shaped the Salm region. A lovely walk with very little road, mainly forest paths. Beautiful views at Bec du Corbeau, where history and nature come together on this walk.

The route starts in Jehanster and takes you on a walk through streets, country lanes and meadows.
