You will start at the Lanaye lock complex, not far from the border. Thanks to the new wide lock, 9,000-tonne boats can now pass between the inland waterway networks of Belgium and the Netherlands. Not far from there, the Frayères de Lanaye natural site is the perfect place to relax. The tranchée de Caster, a wide cut through the limestone at the foot of the Montagne Saint-Pierre nature reserve. It is worth mentioning that in May 1940, the German troops entered Belgium through this region. The marks of this invasion are still clear to see in the forts of Eban-Emael and Aubin-Neufchâteau.

Continue on Visé, the city of the goose, where you can admire the Ferme du Temple, a farm built by the Templars in the 13th century.

When arriving in the city of Liège, on bank of the Meuse, you leave behind you the slopes of the Citadel which provide a spacious green area for walkers right in the centre of the city, remembering its historic centre, the Carré district and the countless museums.
