Discover Limal: Trails, Chapels and Regional Specialties

Limal is a destination for travelers who want to combine walks, history and culinary discoveries. The choice ranges from an 8.2 km hiking trail and a 21 km circular route to chapels with a history of their own. There is also a certified bakery for Tarte au Stofé and a chocolate workshop that welcomes groups by prior arrangement. This allows you to plan your stay according to your preferred travel pace and the interests of your group.

Hiking trails between Limal and Wavre

The City of Wavre's hiking program includes Limal. Along the way, the trails provide information about points of interest, allowing you to combine exercise with local discoveries. One specific option is the 8.2 km “De Limal à Profondsart” hiking trail. If you prefer a longer route, you can plan the “Wavre semi-marathon” Jooks loop. It is 21 km long and passes through Wavre, Limal and Bierges.

These two options provide clear guidance for different day plans: the “De Limal à Profondsart” trail is shorter, while the Jooks loop takes in several places. In addition, walks in the municipality of Wavre invite you to discover the Dyle Valley and its slopes. The route that suits you therefore depends mainly on whether you are looking for a single hiking trail or a longer loop through several places.

Chapels and cultural impressions

The Chapelle de Profondsart is located at Rue de Grandsart 13, 1300 Limal. The building dates from the early 20th century. Another historical landmark is the Chapelle Notre-Dame de Grimohaye. It was built in 1688 at the instigation of Dean Charles Martinez and is dedicated to Notre-Dame des Affligés.

The Chapelle de Profondsart is also associated with a cultural program: concerts by the Parcours d’Artistes de Profondsart-Limal have been held there every two years since 2006. If, during a trip to Limal, you want to take into account not only trails but also sacred architecture and cultural events, you can include these places in your personal itinerary.

Tarte au Stofé and chocolate

MOHIMONT at Rue Charles Jaumotte 36, 1300 Limal, is part of Limal's culinary scene. The bakery and pastry shop is currently one of the certified businesses producing Tarte au Stofé. This provides a specific reason to also consider traditional baked goods when planning your trip.

Another option is available for groups at Lio, a chocolatier based in Limal. After making contact, groups of 10 or more can visit the workshop for a demonstration and tasting. This offer is particularly interesting if you are planning a shared culinary activity with a fixed number of participants.

The right accommodation for your travel plans

When looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Limal, you can use your preferred travel rhythm as a decision-making aid: should your stay be shaped by individual discoveries or a longer loop through several places? Choose your accommodation according to the type of trip you want to place at the center of your stay.

In this way, Limal becomes more than just a place to spend the night: you make your choice based on the experiences you want to shape your trip, and then look for the right accommodation for your stay.
