Surprising Liege to the top of slag heaps

I organized my very first hiking weekend on December 14th & 15th!
 
The objectives of the hike were the following:
 

  • Discover the slag heaps of Liège.
  • Discover the diversity of the landscapes of Liege and its surroundings seen from above (slag heaps) and below (Meuse).
  • Become aware of the presence and proximity of nature in the city by taking as many green paths as possible.
  • Discover the local atmosphere through the historical heart of Liège, its Christmas market and its gastronomy.
  • The group consisted of 9 participants + 1 supervisor + me, i.e. 11 people in all, from 30 to 60 years of age, all of whom are keen hikers but with quite different levels of physical fitness. Out of the 9 participants, there were 3 from Liège with a good knowledge of Liège, 4 Hutois and 1 Brainoise knowing only the city centre, 1 from Brussels coming to Liège for the first time.
     
    The weekend went very well, despite the capricious weather, with a score of 4,5/5 of the participants:
     

  • Great spots
