Trois-Ponts walks

La Salm Valley, whose real name is Le Glain This stage ofthe GRP®571leaves the Amblève Valley and heads up the slopes of the La Salm Valley, known as Le Glain. The route changes banks several times until it reaches Vielsalm in the Pays des Macralles.

The surroundings of Trois-Ponts and Coo are mainly forested, with paths and trails running through coniferous and deciduous trees. The rugged terrain highlights the panoramic views of the Ardennes and promises a sometimes very challenging route. In the heart of nature, the route connects with the site of Coo and its lower lake before returning to Trois-Ponts, again mainly through the woods.

A lovely walk around Rencheux, suitable for families, not accessible to people with reduced mobility. Can be done in all seasons. Wear good walking shoes. Pets are allowed but must be kept on a lead. Mainly forest paths.

Following the blue markings, starting from the church square, this route will take you to the highest point in the municipality of Stoumont. You will start with a climb, crossing the pretty hamlets of Roua and Monthouet. Along the way, you will discover the Croix Honnay, which is said to have been planted long ago by a traveller lost in the snow, and the Pyramide, a geodetic marker which, according to legend, was an observation post for Caesar's army. La Vecquée then opens up before you. This large, wide firebreak at the top of the slope is the ancient Roman road that the prince-bishops used in the Middle Ages to travel from Liège to Stavelot Abbey. A historic border between states, it still marks the boundary between Theux and Stoumont today. To descend, you will walk along the Pansîres nature reserve, cross woods and pastures, and come across the Cheval de pierre, a block of quartzite that looks like a lying horse.

Amblève Valley This stage ofthe GRP® 571 starts in Stoumont, passes in front of Froidcourt Castle and crosses the Amblève in Cheneux. The route then descends towards the Coo waterfall, crosses the river again and reaches Trois-Ponts via the Belvédère de Ster.

La Salm Valley, known as Le Glain This stage ofthe GRP®571starts in Vielsalm in the Pays des Macralles, crosses the river at Salmchâteau and enters the Deux Ourthes Nature Park, heading towards the Ardennes plateau and Gouvy.

Would you like to take a beautiful walk in the snow, far from the tourist trails that are overrun as soon as the first snowflakes fall? Then the Vecquée walk is the ideal hike for you. Near Stoumont, at an altitude of 500 metres, snow falls abundantly in this region of the province of Liège. A stone's throw from the Hautes Fagnes, less crowded yet just as beautiful, the Vecquée walk offers an idyllic setting for a winter stroll.

Discover the landscapes and history of the people who shaped the Salm region. A lovely walk with very little road, mainly forest paths. Beautiful views at Bec du Corbeau, where history and nature come together on this walk.

Starting from the car park at Domaine de Bérinzenne, the hike begins by crossing the site before gradually entering the forest for just over a third of its total distance. This is followed by a few kilometres of countryside around the village of Creppe before rejoining the forest at the bottom of the Bois de Mambaye. After passing the castle of the same name, which has been converted into a nature education centre, the route quickly joins the Meyerbeer stream and follows it upstream to the Fontaine de Géronstère, one of the many springs in the spa town. Food and refreshments are available on site. Return through the forest and uphill to the starting point.

Walk in the Malchamps Fagnes region through peat bogs, forests and meadows. Set off at sunrise with the sound of deer bellowing in the background.

Starting from Spa, a walk in the woods of Staneux will take you along the little Chawion, where you can see several beaver dams. Further on, the Chawion pond is a good place to take a short break.

A tributary of the Amblève and 3.5 km long, with an average gradient of 7.5%, the Ninglinspo is one of the few torrents in Belgium. Come and discover this valley, which was coveted by gold prospectors in the last century, and walk in a landscape worthy of the highest mountain rivers. With its waterfalls and "baths", the Ninglinspo will offer you an unforgettable moment of relaxation. As for the Chefna, less popular with tourists, it will take you away from it all with its wild side.

The Charmille du Haut-Marais, dating from the 19th century, is now listed by the Royal Commission for Monuments and Sites.The arbour was built in 1855 by J.R. Nys, a rentier and owner of the estate. It is 573 metres long and consists of around 4,500 hornbeams planted on either side of a pedestrian walkway carved into a tunnel of vegetation, which was very popular at the time.

Walk along rivers through a canyon and tour of the Moûpa area.

This stage ofthe GRP® 571 starts in Remouchamps, passes through Sedoz and Fonds de Quarreux close to the Amblève, follows the Chefna stream to the border of the Sources Nature Park and descends into the valley to finish in Stoumont.
