Every May, the paths and trails of the Namur Condroz are enriched by a number of land art and street art installations. The most fragile ones, made from natural materials, deteriorate over time. Others, unfortunately, disappear as a result of vandalism.
This circular walk allows you to discover a few of them. In order: ‘Bourgeons’, ‘Cercle des sentiers’, ‘Artbri cubique’, ‘Chemin des 4 lunes’, ‘Hé fée papillon’ (which has replaced ‘Les Nids du Marsupilami’), and ‘À l’ombre de la gaillarde’.
In terms of atmosphere, the walk has a rather rural feel, with a stretch through the Bois d’Heure woodland, whilst the natural undulating terrain of the Condroz ensures a variety of landscapes.
As for tarmac, there’s about 1 km before Les Bourgeons, 1 km on leaving Heure, 1 km in Nettinne and just over 1 km shortly before the end – that’s roughly a quarter of the route.
