The path along the Gravière provides some beautiful views of the lake and its rich wildlife which is often more audible than visible.

Today we are walking around the Brock gravel pit located in Hermalle, near the Meuse and the Albert Canal. It is an old gravel quarry which was transformed into a nature reserve from 2012. The large bodies of water are important for the wintering of water birds and the paths that surround them offer so many lovely walks.
From there we reach the Trilogiport which is the first Belgian inland port and the third inland port in Europe developed by the autonomous port of Liège, it is located along the Albert canal in Hermalle-sous-Argenteau
Far from industrial activity, between the Meuse and the Albert Canal, in Oupeye (Hermalle), the 40 hectares of the Trilogiport are reserved for the development of biodiversity and transformed into eco-grazing

he is one of these places, still too little known, in our Commune of Oupeye which, by their landscape interest, their fauna and their flora, deserves a spotlight.

The Brock gravel pit in Hermalle-sous-Argenteau is certainly one of them.

Entirely redeveloped in 2012, this former industrial area (gravel extraction) is now a place of great biological interest thanks, in particular, to the vast body of water characterizing the site and admirably suitable for the wintering of birds and the reproduction of amphibians.

In addition, the creation of a path allows everyone, including people with reduced mobility, to take full advantage of the landscape and to access the equipment placed all along the route (observation posts, benches, tables, panels didactics…).

The site is currently accessed (during the "Trilogiport" works) by rue Fachard (small car park). And from there, on the way to adventure in a superb natural setting!

Gravière Brock

Highlight • Lake

This lake and its park are renowned for their biodiversity (multitude of plants, birds, animals). Very pleasant with children or for strolling. The tour of the lake takes 30 minutes but is dotted with small paths, places to rest. When you return to your car, a small detour via Hemlot is essential. At the end of Rue Fachard, you will arrive on Rue Émile de Laveleye. Walk 2 minutes towards the center of Hermalle and turn right onto Rue Morette. You will arrive along the Meuse. Keep it on your left and advance towards Hemlot, its water lilies, its pond and its little corner of paradise!
