Other walks in the area
Les Côteaux de la Citadelle - Fond des Tawes - Bernalmont - Old 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.
GR® 121 in Glain via the Citadel and the Palais de Justice
A walk combining town and more natural areas.
Rocourt - Lantin - Juprelle - Liers through the fields and along the RAVeL
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.
Angleur - Belle Jardinière - Colonster - Sart-Tilman
A very beautiful walk on the outskirts of Liège, mainly through woods. It passes through the Streupas moor, joins the Ourthe and runs parallel to it as far as Colonster Castle, before returning through the Sart Tilman woods.
Blanc Gravier Stream and Colonster Castle Circular
This lovely circular walk starts from the Adeps centre in Sart Tilman and passes by Colonster Castle.
This hike takes place mainly in the woods on small paths that are impassable with a pushchair.
Orchards and vineyards in Oupeye
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.
Houtain-Saint-Siméon and the Geer Valley
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).
Geer Valley starting from Houtain-Saint-Siméon
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.
