Starting point: Parking near the church of Saint Géry – Rue des Combattants, Ronquières

Exploration around the inclined plane of Ronquières – nature, history and water

In the first half of the walk, we follow a former railway track, now a cycle path, to the hamlet of Watiamont, then continue through the fields towards the impressive inclined plane of Ronquières.

The return journey takes us along the old locks and the no longer used old Brussels–Charleroi Canal, which now forms a beautiful and peaceful nature area. In the final part, we arrive at the point where the old and the new canal meet – a charming residential houseboat village with a unique atmosphere.

Note: there are no catering facilities on the way, so bring enough water or snacks with you.
