Description by the author

A splendid hike takes you over approximately 14 km, along sometimes steeply rising hills, through the vast forests surrounding the Abbey of Villers-la-Ville, which is part of the exceptional heritage of Wallonia. This Cistercian abbey has a rich history dating back to the 12th century. You will pass through the forest of Sainte-Catherine and the Bois du Sartage. This moderately challenging walk is suitable for experienced walkers. You will be on your way for about 3.5 hours. Of course, a visit to the Abbey is included.
