Guide – Great Route Path of the Trappist Abbeys of Wallonia (GR) – NL version

Description

The S.A.T. (Trappist Abbeys Trail), created in partnership with the Walloon Region, is the first thematic route of the Association of Major Hiking Trails. Fully mapped out, it can be done at your own pace, according to your mood, your shape, the weather… Alone, with your family, with friends, whenever you want. The “Sentier GR des Abbayes Trappistes de Wallonie” links the three Walloon abbeys where Trappist beers are brewed. The route is divided in two parts, from Chimay to Rochefort (174 km) and from Rochefort to Orval (116 km), so 290 km in total. The trail leads in both directions along the various marked trails (on the GR) or (on the GR de Pays) described.

Five separate guides describe in their entirety the GR and GRP trails that are partly used by the S.A.T.

This route takes the hiker from abbey to Trappist abbey, where he also discovers their most famous beers. A new opportunity to walk the Walloon trails and discover the products and heritage of the three Trappist abbeys. Products of our country that are the envy of the whole world! Wallonia’s Trappist beers are included in UNESCO’s list of cultural and intangible heritage.
