Icon description route Description

Departure: Parking place Desoil - 6567 Fontaine-Valmont

Sars-la-Buissière suddenly gained worldwide fame on August 17, 1996, after the bodies of Julie and Melissa were found here in the garden of Marc Dutroux's house of horror. This house was demolished in 2023.

This sleepy village is nonetheless a lovely starting point for a silent walk. The first 3 km, we walk through the villages of Fontaine-Valmont and Sars-la-Buissière. After that, we take a nice walk between the fields and meadows.

Here, it is truly a silent area, and one must make this walk to enjoy this silence. The walk between the fields may seem monotonous to some because there are many straight sections of several kilometers alongside fields that all look alike.

The last 2 to 3 kilometers, we walk along the bike path along the Sambre.
