WERIS - The vast landscapes of a UNESCO treasure
IGN cards
Description
From Wéris, located in Famenne region, this walk veers towards the east to climb the “Rideux” pass where it enters the “Ardennes” region: It is a sweeping, vast and varied landscape spanning 900 km. It is rightly listed as a UNESCO World Heritage “Geopark” with its vast rock formation, ancient caves, castles, abbeys and museums.
On top of its megalithic heritage, no one is immune to the charms of the village of “Wéris”, classified among the "Most Beautiful Villages of Wallonia". From the church, you take country roads where the stones of legends with intriguing names such as Devil's Bed or the Stone Haina are revealed. The route continues towards the “Rideux” pass: at the top is one of the most beautiful landscapes in the Ardennes. The descent down into the hamlet of “Lignely” is brutal: and will stop only at the edge of the Aisne River. Cross the river to climb a challenging path that leads to “Mormont” village. Return to “Fanzel” where the last climb that joins the heights of Wéris begins. From bends to pins, you let yourself descend to the village, perched in the middle of dense forests.
