Tongeren walks

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. Route proposed by the walking club "Les Pantouflards de Wihogne" (FFBMP, LG041).

A refreshing country walk in Tongrian Hesbaye, taking us from the small village of Rutten to Lauw, following the River Geer and returning via Herstappe, a Walloon enclave in the heart of Flemish Limburg. Walk organised 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).

Starting from Sint-Pieters-Heurne, the walk takes you through the rather hilly countryside of Limburg Hesbaye, passing by a castle here, a chapel there, a limestone cave, an orchard, or a large square-shaped Hesbaye farmhouse.Although the region is criss-crossed by land consolidation tracks and concrete cycle paths, traffic is usually limited to a few farm vehicles, bicycles and occasionally a group or two of Vespa enthusiasts.That said, the route also follows numerous country lanes and forest tracks where you mainly come across only walkers or joggers.The numerous orchards (pear and apple trees) add a pleasant touch to the route when in bloom.

A short, peaceful walk in Borgloon, through the countryside and past fruit orchards. The walk follows land consolidation and country lanes used by a few farm vehicles and cyclists, with a brief detour past the Transparent Chapel and the Roman Villa landmark.

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 varied countryside walk leading to the Hauts de Froidmont, passing through fields and tree-lined paths to reach the Geer and follow the valley floor as far as Wonck. The route runs alongside several chalk, marl and silica quarries, some of which have been abandoned and are currently being replanted, and passes several nature reserves. Route suggested by the walking club “Les Pantouflards de Wihogne” (FFBMP, LG041).

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.

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.

Walk organised by the Rotary Club Liège Ville Mosane and the Rotary Club Liège Rive Droite. Starting from the Trois Rois vineyard, passing by the Moulin de Grenade and the Vin de Liège winery, exploring the vineyards of the Trois Rois estate.

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.

This walking route circles Sainte-Walburge, passing through several slag heaps. Starting at the Sainte-Barbe and Tonne slag heap, the route goes through Jean Lejeune Park and then past the Old and New Batterie slag heaps.

Travelling from Oupeye, in the north of the Liège region, to Haneffe and its farmland is no easy feat, given the city’s expansion, the numerous motorways and their tangled junctions, not to mention Bierset Airport. And yes, this29th stage takes this route – or rather, these detours – to offer a journey mainly through the countryside along small country roads. A magical ride not to be missed.

A walk combining town and more natural areas.

The route has been designed to enable walkers of all ages to discover Thier-à-Liège in a fun way. The first section focuses on the Cité du Tribouillet, which was the subject of numerous architectural experiments in the 1920s and 1930s. The second section is also of architectural interest but offers a better glimpse of the more bucolic side of Thier-à-Liège.

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.

The route winds its way from village to village along narrow country lanes; large Hesbaye farms dot the landscape here and there, drawing the eye and inviting you to pause for a moment’s contemplation. And when the sun is shining, how can one resist the scenery that unfolds before our eyes? And for those who find inspiration in small villages, with their old houses sitting alongside newer homes – sometimes more harmoniously than others – this thirtieth stage has everything to make them happy.

The second-largest park in the city of Liège. A listed site, it covers more than 19 hectares. The vegetation is very diverse, ranging from tall trees to heathland, on terrain that is sometimes sloping with some lovely views over the city. A perfect walk to enjoy with or without your dog.
