Discover Waremme: Trails, Cycling Routes and Special Experiences

Waremme combines a variety of trails with unusual discoveries. Here, you can choose between short circular trails, longer cycling routes, a playful smartphone puzzle trail and special insights into the world of insects. This allows you to plan your stay entirely according to your preferred travel pace: as an active day on a bicycle, a walk with a cultural focus or an outing with several stops.

Hiking Among Townscapes and Sculptures

The “Promenades pédestres à travers Waremme” offering comprises nine circular trails ranging from 3.2 to 10 km in length. This range allows you to plan a shorter route or opt for a more extended walk. One specific example is the 6.4 km circular trail “A la découverte du Centre-ville et ses sculptures”. Its name places the town centre and the sculptures located there at the heart of the route, giving it a distinct character within the hiking options.

For on-site orientation, the Waremme tourist office is located at Place du Roi Albert Ier 16, 4300 Waremme. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home can consider when planning their trip whether to focus on these walks or on the longer hiking routes. The main consideration is how much time you plan to set aside each day for exercise and discovery.

Cycling Routes of Various Lengths

Cyclists will find six circular routes starting from Waremme in “Promenades cyclistes en Hesbaye”. The individual routes are between 30 and 50 km long. A considerably longer option is the Route des Blés d’Or, at 124 km. It starts on rue des Prés at the Centre sportif in 4300 Waremme and is signposted with a hexagonal sign. Those looking for a marked, longer tour therefore have a clearly named route to use for their planning.

Another option is a 30.9 km circular node network route in Waremme. Its starting point is at junction 35, at the intersection of rue de Berloz, rue des Prés and rue Noé Jacques. The different route lengths make it possible to plan cycling days according to the desired extent, without combining all the options into a single circular route.

Enjoy Playful Exploration and Discover Nature

The Totemus treasure hunt offers another way to get to know Waremme. It involves discovering the local cultural heritage in a playful and interactive way. The activity is designed as a 7 km smartphone puzzle trail and leads from one tourist attraction to the next. For your trip planning, this can be an interesting alternative to a traditional sightseeing tour, especially if you enjoy solving challenges along the way and connecting individual stops.

Hexapoda also has a special focus. Around 50 living insect species are displayed there, including stick insects, cockroaches, rose chafers, praying mantises, bugs, grasshoppers and crickets, as well as bee colonies and ant colonies. A visit to Hexapoda can be continued on a 3 km nature trail at the neighbouring nature site. For a stay focused on nature and engaging discoveries, this offering adds an independent theme to the hiking and cycling opportunities.

Culture as Another Part of the Trip

One cultural point of interest is Château de Sélys Longchamps, an Empire residence in Wallonia. Together with the “A la découverte du Centre-ville et ses sculptures” circular trail, it shows that Waremme can be explored through more than just route lengths and sporting activities. When choosing your accommodation, you can therefore use your preferred mix of cycling, walking, nature and culture as the starting point for your further search.
