Burnot Valley
The Burnot valley is a natural area in Namur following the course of the Burnot River as it flows toward the Meuse. Visitors go here for walking trails that pass through forests and along the stream. The landscape contains remnants of the region's industrial past, specifically old watermills and forges.
Getting There
The valley is located on the outskirts of Namur. From the city centre, it is accessible via local roads or public transport. The journey typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes depending on the mode of transport.
Duration of Visit
Depending on the length of the trails chosen, visitors should allow between 2 and 4 hours to walk through the valley and observe the riverbanks and historical ruins.
