Nice walk in and around the outskirts of Grimbergen. Thanks to Denzil Walton for the inspiration. Link: https://www.discoveringbelgium.com/grimbergen/

Short hike around Liessies, done mainly as an excuse to go and have lunch in Liessies at 'La bergerie' which I would highly recommend. The walk in itself is quite pleasant without having any major wow factors. A big part of the walk is done on gravel paths through the forest or on small roads and 'voie verte', and unfortunately also a small portion on the side of a départementale road. The last part, and nicest part, is done through the forest and ends up at the back of the abbey gardens.

Return ride from Lac de l'eau d'Heure to Montbliart with as few hills as possible except for the last unavoidable one up the rue du 11 novembre. Avoiding hills does however extend the ride by approximately 7km compared to the more direct route. Perfectly doable on a non electric bike

A shortned version of the Transylvestre starting in Montbliart. The original Transylvestre is 23km long without the link up to Montbliart. The shortening of the walk is mainly on the French side, avoiding going all the way done to Val Joly.

Nice little bike ride, not too hilly sarting in Forges, with as main destination the Neptune caves (booking advised). The ride goes via the nice little town of Couvin where there are plenty of eateries and bars to either have a bite to eat or a drink before going into the caves. The caves are quite small, but the boat exit and sound and light show is really nice, so worth the visit. On the return you can stop in Chimay for a beer before returning to Forges

Lovely hike starting in Thuin with as destination the Aulne abbey. Around the abbey there are plenty of options for a bitento eat or a drink. Thuin is a quaint little town with some interesting features to discover.

Short walk around the walls surrounding Le Quesnoy. Pleasant enough, but the area is well in need of care.

Lovely loop from Nismes, passing by fondry des chiens and passing through the lovely villages of Oloy sur Viroin and Vierves sur Viroin where there are plenty of options to sit down and take a drink or have some food.

Nice bike ride from Montbliart around the lacs de l'eau d'heure. After some hesitations and rerouting as Komoot wanted us to take small forest trails rather than roads this tour turned out to be very nice although 10Km longer than what was originally planned.
