from Comblain-au-Pont to Aywaille - GR571 stage1
Lovely hike leaving the train station at Rivage and arriving at the train station of Aywaille. The hike is quite demanding as the region is quite hilly and takes you immediately out of the Amblève valley to the plateaux above. All in all however a great hike with a lot…

From Liessies Centre to Abbey of Liessies
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…

From Lac de l'eau d'heure to Montbliart
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

Transylvestre - Shortened
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.

A bit disappointing as a hike, some nice areas, but the GR part or the 'grande traversée' is in pretty bad shape. Quite happy we did this though as it comforts me not having done a multi day hike on the GR. The bivouac areas I have seen so far on the GR don't look very inviting and are in serious need of some maintenance

Short walk around the commune of Montbliart mainly on small country roads with some passages through the forest.

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.
