Les villages de Sauvenière et Grand-Leez

This wood, which lies seven kilometres to the east of the centre of Gembloux, is crossed by several circular walks starting along the road between Grand-Leez and Aische-en-Refail, about 200 metres from the western edge of the wood. The walks are confined to the southern part of the site, south of the paved path. They offer an insight into the typical relief of the silty region of mid-Belgium: fairly flat with gentle slopes.

Dieses Gebäude wurde 1786 von der Abtei Floreffe erbaut. Die Geschichte der Pfarrei reicht allerdings bis in den Anfang des 12. Jahrhunderts zurück. Es waren die Prämonstratenser von Floreffe, die die Gemeinde während des gesamten Ancien Régime betreuten.

L’Escaille nature reserve lies 600 metres from Gembloux, along the N4. In the 1960s, several dozen hectares of settling pits belonging to the Gembloux sugar refinery attracted an abundant and wide variety of avifauna. When they migrated, the birds stopped off at this nesting site. However, when these settling pits were converted into agricultural land, the birds became only occasional visitors. This was why, in 1987, five hectares were transformed into a protected zone. Over the past few years, this Natagora reserve has become an important conservation area for species of plants, fungus, lichens, moss, algae, snails and slugs, insects, fish, batrachians, reptiles, mammals and birds. In addition, the site is dotted with remains telling the story of a rich past. Near the lakes lie the ruins of the hydraulic mill belonging to the old 18th-century Benedictine abbey, the water settling pits of the old sugar refinery and a model made of plants, depicting the reserve in 3D.
