Floating Rocks on the Ourthe River

A small narrow stream flows on this route to the Ourthe. The hiking trail meanders in the bed. Waterproof footwear is recommended to walk this hiking trail. Be aware that you have to bridge a few meters of altitude here.

Rocky trail along the Ourthe River

Highlight • Trail

A pleasure to walk on this rough path along the Ourthe. Beautiful along the river, where you sometimes have to climb over rocks and obstacles. It is important to wear good walking shoes.

Le Hérou, a challenge for small and big heroes...

Reaching the highlight of the weekend as a family…
Packed and packed, we first get acquainted along a normal walking path with the rock ledge L'Hérou.
Nice views, boring according to our young heroes.
A new challenge awaits them…
To trigger the boys, we quickly descend to the valley of the Ourthe where they practice a game of pebbles on the water surface.

To end our adventurous walk in beauty, we decide as 'little and big heroes' to climb L'Hérou along a 'black hiking trail = almost via ferrata'.
Once we reached the highest and furthest point, everyone was tired but satisfied.
Time to go back home.
We all enjoyed 'our family weekend'.

Le Hérou Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

Le Hérou, a splendid and mysterious site, features particularly steep rocks and is home to some small nuggets in terms of hiking trails.

The view from Le Hérou or from the neighboring paths offers authentic landscapes of the Ourthe and its numerous wooded meanders. The entire site is classified Natura 2000.

A beautiful location to enjoy the panoramic view and the meandering Ourthe. Each season gives its own colour to the decor.
