A lovely spot nestled between the Lesse and Lomme rivers!

Walk around Smuid

This 10km loop explores the wooded landscapes around Smuid, between Saint-Hubert forests, damp valleys, and rivers. The route begins with a gentle, steady climb, followed by a long , gradual descent through the woods. The loop finishes with a more pronounced climb back to the village.

A varied and natural route, enjoyable in all seasons.

Departure and start of the hike

The walk begins directly at Notre-Dame de Saint-Remy Abbey , a Trappist site renowned for its history and brewing tradition. The path then leads into the Bois de la Boverie forest, following the Biran stream for the first part of the walk.

Points of interest along the route

Smuid – a typical small Ardennes village, starting point for the hike.
Saint-Hubert Forest – a vast forest massif covering a large part of the route.
Ruisseau du Pont Lozet – charming, discreet stream at the bottom of the valley.
The Lomme – an iconic river that accompanies a section of the route.

Return to the starting point

After passing through the valley floor, the trail begins a gradual ascent between woods and open paths, before reaching Smuid and closing the loop.
