Tellin walks

Glacière, ponds, arboretum, Croix des Bûcherons, but also Croix des Morts, La Lomme, Rocher de Marie Gobaille. Let's set off on the grand tour of Mirwart.

A walk starting from Tellin to discover the villages of Resteigne and Belvaux via the La Lesse valley and the Bois de Niau (woodland) where a hermit lived. There are still ruins of the hermitage of this former officer of Napoleon and heir to the Château de Resteigne (castle). On the way go past the Rocher à Pic viewpoint, the Belvaux chapel, the Hermitage, the Mill, the Castle and the old Resteigne quarry.

This is a very easy route through one of Belgium's largest deciduous forests, on comfortable gravel paths and a little tarmac, but very secluded, completely away from 'civilisation'. It passes by the Étang de Bilaude bird observatory, which is superb in its moorland setting. In several places, beautiful benches carved from tree trunks invite you to rest and contemplate.

Discover the wild Haute Lesse from Redu, passing through La Roche aux Chevaux and the Notre-Dame de Walcourt chapel in the village of Lesse.

A pleasant walk through the hills and valleys of the Nassogne countryside and woods. It first takes you to the Chapel and Calvary of St-Léonard before descending towards the Masblette stream and the village of Masbourg. This is followed by a very steep climb up a very stony path on the agricultural plateau between Masbourg and Ambly. You may need a machete to approach Ambly, but the view on arrival is magnificent. The return to Nassogne is a little harder on the calves, but you won't need a machete: the path is a little wider and well cleared.

Several series of ponds strung together like a string of pearls stretch between Freux, Bougnimont and Séviscourt. The hike allows you to discover those near the magnificent Freux-Suzerain castle. The others are even more hidden away on vast private estates. For the rest, this hike is quite rural on the north side and very wooded on the south side. The end of the wooded section crosses the pretty marshy area of Golo.

Set off from Graide for a circular hike to Gedinne. Stop for a bite to eat at L'Hôtel de la Poste, a high-quality restaurant. Enjoy the varied landscapes before returning to Graide via a different trail. Remember to check the restaurant's opening hours.

The village of Naomé is located in the heart of the Southern Ardennes Nature Park, which covers nine Belgian municipalities in southern Wallonia: Bertrix, Bièvre, Bouillon, Daverdisse, Gedinne, Herbeumont, Paliseul, Vresse-sur-Semois and Wellin. This walk, which takes you through both countryside and forest, starts in Naomé.

This unpretentious walk allows you to wander around the villages of Freux and Bras, through pastures and along country roads. The walk starts in front of the church in Freux, where there is a large car park.

The Ruisseau de Basseille has its source in the Fagne de la Borne near the Saint-Hubert Aerodrome and flows into the western Ourthe near Ortheuville. This walk follows its course more or less closely for about 6 km.

This beautiful hike in Sainte-Ode takes you on a journey of discovery through the valleys of the Ourthe, Baseille and Laval streams, alternating between forest and pretty panoramic views of this region of the Ardennes, with a return trip through the Orti Nature Reserve.

The deforested hillsides in the Waharday, Chéoux and Hodister areas have been replanted with various species of shrubs, including broom, which has taken root there in their thousands.When they flower in May, they light up the whole area with their characteristic magnificent yellow colour.The icing on the cake is that the numerous meadows are also illuminated in yellow by buttercups.A real treat for the eyes.

Set off to explore Banibois, in the heart of the woods crossed by the stream of the same name. This walk will take you through hundred-year-old oak trees, majestic beech trees and spruce plantations. You will also enjoy vast meadows on the edge of the woods.

A hike in the Condroz region, starting from the small village of Foy-Notre-Dame on a rolling plateau with pleasant trails, including the Chemin des Pèlerins with its shrines.

Limestone and blue stones make up a significant part of the habitat. Rue Haute is a fine example of this. Several limestone houses dating from the 18th century stand side by side. Among these are two listed buildings, the Moulin Faber and the Maison Godenir, which houses the Royal Tourist Office. The Aïve Cave/Neolithic cave, Ti Château/Roman camp, Trou Fré Djame... are other places you will encounter along this route.

This walk begins by following one of Wallonia's iconic rivers, with some beautiful rocks as a bonus, before offering a pleasant loop through the forests and countryside south of the tourist town.

Loop passing by the resting place of the great L.D. A route with elevation changes and beautiful scenery, but not too difficult. You can even avoid getting your feet wet. About 4½ hours of walking at a good pace.

This route combines rural exploration, panoramic views, rocks and forest single trails, between the water's edge and rocky passages. Although the outward journey is not particularly difficult, please note that the ridge crossing is a demanding section that should not be underestimated!
