Departing from the village center of Villers-le-Temple, the walk takes you to the Rochette site in the Fond d’Oxhe valley. The 9.5 km itinerary takes you along the roads and paths of one of the region’s most beautiful villages, once the seat of a commandery of the Templar Order. Hence the name! To discover along the way: La Rochette. A singular prehistoric rock where numerous Neolithic artifacts, especially tools, have been found. They are now on display at the Musée Curtius in Liège.
6 magnificent autumn walks
in Terres-de-Meuse1. Promenade de la Rochette
2. Pont-de-Bonne promenade
In the heart of the Condroz region, this 7.2 km itinerary starts at Pont-de-Bonne and runs along the former railway line 126, now known as the Ravel. It’s a very pleasant path, which you soon leave to join another track running alongside the Hoyoux. We pass the old Vyle-Tharoul railway station (or at least, what’s left of it), before crossing the road carefully to reach the hamlet of Limet through the woods.
3. Vieux-Waleffe Promenade
Located in the commune of Villers-le-Bouillet, on one of the highest points of the Hesbaye, Vieux-Waleffe is a village of character turned towards agriculture, with its local stone houses, small church and beautiful farms.
I loved the diversity of the landscapes on the walk, from wide open spaces to colorful wooded areas to the meadows of the village of Warnant-Dreye next door (which is also a very pretty Hesbaye village, let it be known).
4. Saint-Fontaine and the ponds
A walk through wide-open spaces dotted with forests and magnificent nooks and crannies. This walk in the heart of the Condroz is a real change of scenery. 10 km from the church of Pailhe, a charming, timeless village near Modave and Clavier.
5. La promenade de la Pierre
A feudal castle, limestone walls, a quarry, beautiful buildings, this “Promenade de la Pierre” has not lied to us!
Starting from the pretty Place de Moha, this 7.3km signposted route (WZ05) is one of the most beautiful in Terres-de-Meuse.
6. The Wachnet promenade
The Wachnet walk is the ideal family outing. In the heart of the Hesbaye region, this site was specially developed a few years ago: educational trail, duckboards… The ecological trail takes us to discover the different areas of the site.
Frogs can be heard and many birds observed.
