The best MTB trails around Bois de Tinlot

Nice walk

The Seraing Arboretum boasts a rich collection of tree species, including a giant sequoia measuring approximately 38 meters tall with a circumference of 6.60 meters (approximately 2.10 meters in diameter). The giant sequoia is renowned for its ability to withstand impacts (its bark is approximately 3 cm thick) and was used in firebreaks because its moist bark provides good resistance to forest fires. There are also Vancouver firs measuring approximately 51 meters tall, though some have died standing. If you'd like to see for yourself, you can make the "lumberjack's cross," an easy and fun activity. Please respect the trees by not tearing the bark off the sequoia and by staying on the paths. We wish you a pleasant walk.

The gravel pit is a very rich site for photo enthusiasts or for walkers who wish to walk on maintained paths and observe birds in complete tranquility. Site recommended for walkers and photographers. Please, can you respect the rules such as keeping your dog on a leash (even if some people think they won't do any harm by letting their dog off the leash, know that you have animals with predator instincts which could scare away some species of birds that nest on the ground, like the kingfisher) and not swimming so as not to disturb the birds that are there. Thank you to all those who will respect the rules and I wish you a good hike or a good photo outing 🙏.

A beautiful walking path through the deciduous forest of Gérardchêne, the source of the Rau du Trou Bottin. You'll encounter numerous springs and streams.

The Templar Commandery in Villers-le-Temple originated around 1260, when Knight Gérard de Villers acquired land here and built a walled complex with towers and a chapel. It served as a fortified agricultural and administrative center for the order in the Hesbaye region. After the dissolution of the Templar Order, the property passed into the hands of the Knights Hospitaller; today, all that remains are walls, a tower, and Gérard's tombstone in the church.

"A pause suspended in time. 🌿 Where carved wood meets the calm of the marsh. The ideal place to sit and listen to the murmur of the water."

Its history: It is often linked to the memory of Father Antoine (founder of Antoinism), who used to come here to pray. It's a small, cool haven nestled under the trees. The atmosphere: It exudes a calm and somewhat mysterious atmosphere, typical of local Walloon legends.

The Source des Amoureux is a small, natural spring. It's a simple "mouth" in the rock where cool, clear water wells up, feeding a tributary stream that flows alongside the path. Ideal for hikers in the valley between Seraing and Flémalle, it offers a peaceful retreat with its romantic name and lush green surroundings. A few meters from the spring, you'll notice the spectacle of two "hugging" trees.
