In the heart of one of our Ardennes forests around Montleban
As a resident of the pretty little village of Montleban, I’d like to suggest a route to my fellow walkers and/or joggers that consists of 90% wooded paths and 10% quiet, unpaved roads.
Throughout the walk, you may be lucky enough to encounter a family of wild boars or deer.
Nature getaway in Sterpigny

Cherain - Rettigny et la vallée de l' Ourthe
This is a reposing walk between the fields and along small rivers. Recommend for people who love the country and nature.
A few markers on the Ourthe side
You will have covered almost 18 kilometres and will see two other very different types of boundary markers: two stone markers marking the former Belgian-Prussian border and two metal markers, still in use today, between Belgium and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.The Ourthe river is not very visible, but you will be riding alongside a beautiful nature reserve along its tributary at the end of the route, called Fooschtbaach in the Grand Duchy and Pihon in Belgium.
Walk from La Vecquée to Stoumont
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.

Route from La Vecquée to Stoumont

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.
