Overall, Oupeye is highly urbanised, but the agricultural and fruit-growing area around Heure-le-Romain has many old quarries and lots of paths suitable for hiking.
As the region is hilly, the walk offers some beautiful views of the surrounding area, particularly in the distance over the Meuse valley and the slag heaps of the old coal mines.
If possible, it is best to take this walk when the fruit trees are in bloom in spring or when they are bearing fruit in late summer.
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.

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).
