April 26, 2026,Boucle Porte de Namur – Abbaye de Villers au départ de Ancienne Abbaye de Villers

Very beautiful walk (loop) starting from the ruins of the Abbey of Villers-la-ville, easy level. In the woods, accompanied by birdsong. In April, carpet of wood hyacinths in several places. Hiking shoes necessary.
Perhaps very muddy if it has rained in the preceding days.
