"Tracing the courseof the Lomme"
This geotrail starts from the centre of Rochefort and leads to Jemelle via the RAVeL 150 cycle path, along the valley of the Lomme. The valley here follows the limestone strip and is shaped by major karst phenomena. The return to Rochefort is along the left bank of the Lomme, climbing up to the edge of the Gerny plateau and including a suggested detour to visit the Gallo-Roman villa in Malagne.

Accessible from the Marloie and Marche-en-Famenne train stations, this route invites you to explore two contrasting facets of the Geopark region: the Famenne and the Ardennes.

To the north, Marche-en-Famenne reveals its award-winning historic center, a European “Destination of Excellence”: its buildings made of local limestone, its pedestrian-only streets, and its many shops make it a lively stop. The Fond des Vaulx nature site, just a stone’s throw from downtown, immerses visitors in a small karst valley carved into the Givétian limestone.

Further south, the landscape changes: forests, the Wamme and Wassoie valleys, and stone villages lead to Nassogne, nicknamed the Gateway to the Ardennes. 

The 33.5 km route can be divided into two independent loops starting from junction 123: Marche-en-Famenne (17.2 km) and Nassogne (16.3 km). The Famenne-Ardenne Tourist Office offers bike rentals, repairs, and secure parking.

Accessible from the Marloie and Marche-en-Famenne train stations, this 17.3-km loop explores the urban and heritage-rich side of the geopark before opening up to the rolling hills of the Famenne region.

From the train station, the route passes through the lively center of Marche-en-Famenne: its shopping streets, historic buildings, and the Famenne & Art Museum are well worth a stop. Nearby, the Fond des Vaulx nature site reveals a small karst valley typical of the Calestienne region. Leaving the town, the route runs alongside the Prés de la Wamme, a remarkable wetland meadow home to exceptional flora and fauna, before reaching the village of Waha and its remarkable 11th-century Romanesque church, whose contemporary stained-glass windows by Jean-Michel Folon illuminate the interior. The more adventurous will enjoy a sloping gravel path between Harsin and Waha.

"Art in Famenne":
This trail takes you on an extraordinary journey through the capital of the Famenne and its walkable landscapes, from the green retreat of the Fond des Vaulx valley to the town of Marche-en-Famenne and the village of Waha, best known for its church. The trail makes its way along country paths, small country roads and streets and lanes. It also makes a delightful cycling route.
