The lull of the lake

Peace and serenity on the banks of Nisramont: a union with wild nature.

-

Distance: 14.7km

IF YOU REALLY want to immerse yourself in wild nature then Lake Nisramont is just the place. Fed by the river Ourthe it’s a spiritual, magical and mysterious place. The perfect solution if you’re searching for a little peace and solace. This exceptiona­l hike follows the banks of Lake Nisramont. From there, you can see the confluent of the two Ourthe rivers and even glimpse, with a little luck, beavers, cormorants and kingfisher­s. It’s a full immersion in nature, which at times veers away from the banks with soft undulating paths and stairways past rocks and woodland landscape. Nisramont Dam is also impressive, providing drinking water for the region. If you fancy making a day or two of it there are various water activities to enjoy here including kayaking, fishing, canoeing or simply kicking back for a lakeside picnic with a regional beer like Achouffe and some Ardennes cheese and hams.
