Tips from the Community
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.

Augustinian Abbey on the Meuse River, whose origins date back to 1075. The complex features an impressive corner tower, gateway, abbey church, dovecote, watermill, brewery, and other outbuildings. Later, it also housed a tax collection house and the abbot's palace. Today, it's a large school complex that can be very busy on a Wednesday afternoon.

At 220 metres high, this limestone cliff offers breathtaking views over the meandering Ourthe valley near Esneux.

Accessible via the Sentier des Crêtes and other hiking trails, the site offers peace, space and a touch of wilderness.

The Roche aux Faucons (translated into Dutch: Falcon Rock) is a viewpoint on a rock in the municipality of Neupré in the Belgian province of Liège. The rock is located southeast of Boncelles and northwest of Esneux. The rock rises steeply above a meander of the Ourthe. The rock consists of a ridge with the Ourthe at the foot of the rock on the south side. On the north side of the ridge is a small valley with a river that flows behind the ridge high above the Ourthe. At some point, that river disappears into a sinkhole to flow underground to the Ourthe.

Concrete surface not great but good for gravel.

While the Roche-aux-Faucons slopes are a popular cycling destination, the viewpoint is only accessible on foot: a few meters from a small parking lot or via the ridge trail. It overlooks the Ourthe loop from approximately 120 meters.
