Circuit des Mégalithes

A walking loop starting from Wéris, one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia, combining megalithic heritage, rural landscapes , and remarkable viewpoints. The route follows the famous dolmens and menhirs, crosses forests and countryside, while offering several cultural and natural rest stops.

The circuit starts in the central square of Wéris, opposite the church. We quickly leave the heart of the village by taking a small path through fields, towards the site of the northern dolmen, the first evidence of Neolithic occupation in the region.

• The Pierre Haina, nicknamed the White Menhir, is actually a natural rock that emerges from the ground.
• The Lit du Diable, according to legend, contains a hole leading to the center of the Earth.
• The megalithic quarry, a vestige of an ancient extraction activity.
• Le Pas-Bayard, a chapel built from blocks taken from a megalithic remains.
• The three menhirs of Oppagne, visible near the path.
• The Oppagne dolmen, located in the open countryside in the middle of a line of stones.
• The Danthine menhir, isolated but well highlighted in the landscape.
• The Wéris dolmen, the most well-known on the route, is a listed building and accompanied by explanatory panels.
• Wéris Forest, shady and relaxing, ideal for a refreshing break.

The return journey follows wooded paths that lead back to Wéris from the south. The loop gently closes in the last pastures of the plateau. At the end of the walk, a stop at the Megalith Museum or the Taverne des Légendes is highly recommended to discover the myths surrounding these sites.
