Cave With Wooden Bench in Réserve Naturelle Aux Roches

Here, we find a bench under a cave. It's more decorative than functional, so I advise you not to abuse the bench's hospitality and continue your hike!

Beautiful walk from the industrial town of Flémalle. Rough and narrow forest paths, stepped paths and dense grass paths lead to, among other things, the Schmerling caves, the Awirs rocks, a 1.7 kilometer long teansportband that cuts through the landscape and two more castles. Plenty to experience and discover along the way.

This challenging walk goes through beautiful forest paths to Flemalle Haute then on to the lower Awirs through alleys and stairways.
Further up along a very long conveyor belt of 1.8 km from the quarry to the Meuse.
Then …

Southwest of Liège lies the low-lying village of Awirs. During this tough Ardennes tour you walk via beautiful narrow and wide forest paths to Flémalle-Haute.

You walk through the Aux Rochers nature reserve towards Flémalle. This industrial town is located on the Maas. Here you walk along high rock walls.

Fairly easy tour.
Without wanting to be slanderous, simply because it is possible that some might think so: there are beautiful corners there 😉

Mix of the 2 marked walks starting from the church of Chokier.
1 - nature reserve with rocks - blue markup - TOP!
2 - walk of the 2 castles - red markings - more monotonous, long straight lines in the fields
