Forest Trails and Waterscapes near Thibessart

One notable way to experience the landscape on foot is the Promenade du Trou du Bois near Thibessart. The circular trail is 7 km long and leads into the Mandebras valley and to the Étangs de Thibessart before continuing into the forest. This makes it possible to include a longer route with changing landscape impressions in your day’s plans. The Étang de Thibessart also has a historical dimension: it was formerly created to supply the water-drawing facility for locomotives from Marbehan railway station.

Another route option is the Promenade des Quatre-Ponts near Chêne. The 5.6 km route is designated for hiking and mountain biking and runs along the RNOB de Quatre-Ponts nature reserve. This creates a clear distinction in your travel planning between a 7 km circular walk near Thibessart and a shorter route that can additionally be explored by mountain bike. You can base your accommodation choice on whether you would prefer a forest and waterscape or a combined hiking and cycling excursion to be the focus.

Cultural Heritage, Garden Art and Special Discoveries

The Forges de Mellier are among the cultural attractions. They have been listed as part of Wallonia’s exceptional heritage since 1980. Mellier is also home to Le verger des âmes, an orchard and flower meadow in the former cemetery. The site was laid out between the graves in keeping with the European tradition of medieval cemetery gardens. Both places add a cultural and unusual dimension to your stay and can be combined well with the landscape experiences.

Smaller activities can also add variety to your holiday. The “Les Merveilles de la Forêt d’Anlier” geocaching route includes 8 geocaches over 2.2 km and has the code GC9C7BY. The “Le trésor des Forges de Mellier” route includes 10 geocaches, including a bonus cache, over 4 km; its code is GC9XQK8. Those travelling with different age groups can include such shorter discovery tours alongside longer hikes without having to plan the entire day in the same way.

Market Visit and Further Destinations

Experience the regional atmosphere at the Marché du Terroir in Léglise. It takes place from April to October on the first Saturday of each month at Place du Marché in Léglise. The date provides a specific point of reference for travel planning and complements the nature and cultural experiences with an insight into local market life.

For further options, you can also visit the pages for Witry and Mellier. This allows you to compare different focuses: trails and forests, historic sites, market dates or small activities such as geocaching. A holiday apartment in Léglise is particularly suitable as a base for your plans if you would like to combine these various travel ideas according to your mood and interests each day.
