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.

Departure from Ans (Province de Liège)
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.

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.

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.

On the edge of Hesbaye, vast fields still make up the bulk of the landscape. This walk, however, takes you along a few tree-lined paths and through wooded valleys, and also allows you to discover a typical (and listed) limestone meadow that has developed following the reclamation of a former quarry.
