The Natural Parks of Wallonia represent 33% of the Walloon territory, encompassing 71 municipalities spread throughout Wallonia. These are areas with a distinctive landscape identity, offering visitors a rich and preserved natural environment. As places of rejuvenation and home to numerous walking routes, the Natural Parks now welcome passionate hikers with 36 new loops gathered in 2 topo-guides.
The topo-guides of "Randonnées en Boucle®" (the RB®) offer a format tailored to enthusiasts who enjoy day trips of around twenty kilometres, complemented by variants allowing everyone to adapt their route. These walks are based on the GR® or GR®P trails well known to long-distance hikers. Each province offers a topo-guide featuring 16 RB, some of which double the range of walking discoveries available.
The twelve Natural Parks of Wallonia invite you in turn to explore on foot... Presented in two volumes, 36 RB® will allow you to discover these rural areas and their many facets, to admire without limit the landscapes that unfold before you, this preserved nature, breathtaking panoramas, typical villages and hamlets, the richness of local produce, their heritage, ...
The first volume brings together the 18 RB that traverse the rural and forest paths within the Natural Parks of the provinces of Namur and Luxembourg.
