Tips from the Community
Right next to the church, you can admire some sculptures and enjoy a drink on the terrace. As you descend to the lower part of the village (to your left), lovers of Trappist wines of various origins and Orval cheeses will be delighted.

The Basilica of Saint-Hubert, a famous place of pilgrimage in honour of Saint-Hubert and recognised as an exceptional heritage site of Wallonia, captivates visitors with its majestic appearance and elegance. Its silhouette rises amidst a beautiful frame of Ardennes forests. It is a spectacular witness to the dynamism of a Benedictine abbey closed by the French revolutionaries. Several abbey churches, increasingly larger, followed one another, both for monastic life and for the devotion of pilgrims. While the first foundations date back to the 7th century, the current building was mainly built during the 16th century. The basilica is a real history book on architectural evolution, from the Romanesque style to the exuberance of the Gothic and Renaissance. The Baroque facade from the early 18th century contrasts with the interior, where the light makes the colours of the materials so intense: blue, yellow, pink stones, marble and wood.

The Basilica of Saint-Hubert is located in the center of the city and is not only an important place of pilgrimage, but also a protected cultural monument of Wallonia. The foundation of the church dates back to the 7th century, but the current building is a structure that dates mainly from the 16th century. The basilica is dedicated to Saint Hubert of Liège, whose bones were transferred here in 825. However, these were lost after the dissolution of the abbey, so a cenotaph - a false grave - of Saint Hubert is located in the basilica. When there are no services taking place, you can visit the basilica. Guided tours of the church building are also available on request.

On this part of the path, the path becomes increasingly narrow and the trees increasingly taller, giving the place an almost mystical appearance.

This charming watering hole is located right on the edge of the Lesse. It is the ideal place to fill your water bottles and make a short stop before starting the day.

The walk starts from the book village of Redu. The walk is called Passage des Chèvres and is perfectly signposted. The start is near the ESA space centre and at Séchery you end up in a beautiful forest. During the hunting season you should definitely keep an eye on the dates of the hunt. The route runs almost entirely on natural paths.
