Walking in Wallonia

What’s on the menu?

ASLAB OF ROCK, a slather of peaty soil, the crunch of gravel path, earthy smells of heather on misty moors with a pinch of fresh pine forest. If walking in Wallonia were a meal it would be a wondrous array of courses, with a little something to tempt every palate.

Factor in the sense of familiarity and comfort of the temperate green landscapes – Wallonia is after all less than a 2-hour drive from Calais, and you have a comforting recipe for success. Not only that. It’s peppered with colourful culture and quirky customs you won’t see anywhere else.

Whilst one of its abbeys reveals championship racecourses and exquisite museums behind its ancient walls. Elsewhere, gnomes and innovative monks busy themselves producing award winning beers and other gourmet delights.

Ancient rock formations, haunting plains, deep dense forests or fast flowing rivers, there is a trail to feel the full flavour of our region whatever your age, interest or walking level.

This brochure is just a taster – a few routes and highlights that you can do by car or on foot with the option to research the full range of itineraries on visitwallonia.be/hiking including maps and routes to download free.

C’mon then, lace up your boots. Let’s see what’s on the menu? MAIN COVER IMAGE: WBT - DOMINIK KETZ
