Wismes walks
From Wismes to the Bois d'Esquerdes via the Montagne d'Elnes
A long route with very little tarmac and a superb climb.
There are also a few long straight stretches through the fields that will delight many!
Late July 2020:
- the section between points 6 and 7 is in excellent condition.
- at point 13, after the copse, you cross a maize field for about fifty metres (the path is clearly marked) before finding the track.
Walk through the Artois Heights
A winding route offering superb views of the Artois heights and the Bléquin valley.
An uphill battle
It's a route that will delight altitude enthusiasts (Carto exploreur and the Visorando app suggest it's as high as 500m). What's more, the views are stunning.
Route slightly modified in November 2019.
All trails are very good as of May 14, 2020 (even if some are very grassy).
Back to the Elnes hillside
This place is so beautiful that it deserves a second route.Another good climb with 2 nice climbs and a maximum of paths and trails.
Difficult in dry weather and very difficult in wet weather.
Hills and valleys in Coyecques
From the Lys Valley to Noir Mont and discovery of the hidden valley of Maisnil.
The route is almost entirely off-road, either on good grassy paths or vaguely paved paths.
Do not look for markings, as there are none.
The Wavrans Valley
The Wavrans-sur-l'Aa nature reserve consists of two hillsides separated by a dry valley, Mont Carrière and Montagne d'Elnes. The chalky slopes of the reserve are steep and unusual for the region. They were also "sculpted" by the bombs of the Second World War.
From Turkey to Fond Breton (in less than 10 km!)
A short but fairly strenuous route with a steep hill and some very grassy paths.
On 12/08/2025: the start of the trail is once again very overgrown (brambles and nettles). It's passable but it's best to wear trousers or good gaiters and, of course, bring a walking stick or even a pair of secateurs.
From Reclinghem to Mont d'Erny
Three nice climbs and a long stroll on the plateau for a walk in the countryside. A very hilly first part, then a long route on the heights before descending to Reclinghem with a magnificent view. The icing on the cake is a little extra circular that brings the elevation gain to over 300 m.
From Moringhem to Quelmes
A pleasant, virtually roadless route, with the possibility of a pleasant break at the beautiful Quelmes café.
Yellow River Trail
A short walk around the La Coupole blockhouse, where forest and magnificent ponds come together.
Around Bomy
A short walk in the Artois region, particularly pleasant in autumn.
Ecou marsh “Marais d’Ecou” in Tilques
Houses, each with its own dock and boat moored on the Lansberg. People fishing practically from their homes. Cottages, each more beautiful than the last. Little market gardeners' boats loaded with crates of vegetables heading off to who knows where.Truly, the passage along the Lansberg will delight you with its beauty.You'll find a tranquil, picturesque feel that's rare in the region.
Le Lansbergue
This is a route through the heart of the Audomarois marshes along a marked trail maintained by the Pays de Saint-Omer Urban Community.
5 woods and some steep slopes
A very hilly route over the Artois heights.
A great sporting outing with beautiful scenery.
The upper Lys valley
The source of the Lys, the Lugy Mill and a beautiful route on the plateau (beautiful views).This hike can be more difficult in wet weather as some of the paths are regularly ploughed.There is some tarmac, but only on small roads.
Please note: the path leading up into the Lugy woods after the (5) can be very difficult in wet weather.
