Fonds de Quarreux Hike

Route description

This 9.5 km walk takes you to the heart of the Amblève valley, to discover the Fonds de Quarreux , a natural site classified as one of the most remarkable in the Ardennes. The route combines forest paths, riverside trails and rocky sections, offering a beautiful immersion in water, stone and forest.

Departure and start of the hike

The departure point is the Fonds de Quarreux car park, located along the Route de la Gleize.
From the very first meters, the path runs along the left bank of the Amblève, where the blocks of quartzite polished by the current create a unique and soothing setting.

Points of interest along the route

  • Fonds de Quarreux : a section of the Amblève river dotted with rounded rocks, classified as a natural site since 1970. A legendary place associated with many local stories.
  • Ninglinspo : a small tributary of the Amblève whose path joins the neighboring valley, famous for its waterfalls and natural pools.
  • Drouet viewpoint : unobstructed panorama over the valley, ideal for admiring the forests and meanders of the Amblève.
  • Chefna : another emblematic stream of the region, flowing through a narrow and wild valley.

Return to the starting point

The path gradually returns to the Gleize road , once again following the river. The return journey is via a more accessible route, allowing you to enjoy the peace and charm of the area one last time before returning to the car park.
