You can plan a visit to Perwez around specific routes and themes: short walks, paths along the RAVeL-147, and activities related to regional history and farm products offer different points of focus. The stated distances help you gauge the length of route and stay you want before looking for a hotel.

Choose walks by distance

By stated distance, the 4 km La Balade des Fermes is a short circular route through Thorembais-les-Béguines. The Totemus walk “Perwez, une ville à la campagne” is 4.6 km long. Longer options are La Balade des 3 clochers at 8 km and La Balade entre deux gares at 11 km. The “A cheval” route is a 12 km riding route.

La Balade des Fermes highlights seven noteworthy, renovated and well-maintained Brabantine quadrangle farms. La Balade des 3 clochers takes you around Malèves-Sainte-Marie-Wastines. A route map and a description of the sights are available to download. This gives you a practical way to preview the route and its themes.

The starting points also set these options apart: the Totemus walk starts and ends at Place de la Gare, and La Transperwézienne also starts from this square. It follows the RAVeL-147, comfortable farm tracks and quiet roads through the villages. Check the current route before setting off.

RAVeL, paths and navigation

The RAVeL is a network of routes for non-motorised users. These include pedestrians, cyclists, people with reduced mobility, skaters and horse riders. In Perwez, it follows the former railway line 147 and forms an important green link for the town.

Along the RAVeL, tourist information panels provide details about key heritage features, practical information about Horeca options, and cycling and walking loops. This gives you several pointers for planning: you can follow the route while also taking account of the on-site information about culture and other loops.

Cultural heritage and farm products

La Balade entre deux gares connects the former Perwez railway station with the former Thorembais-Saint-Trond railway station. The area’s railway heritage is also reflected in the RAVeL route along the former railway line 147. As a distinct cultural attraction, the Musée du Souvenir 40-45 traces the history of the Second World War in the region. The options therefore range from routes linked to former railway stations and cultural heritage to regional wartime history.

The Ferme Mandelaire offers a different focus: visitors can taste butter, cheese and yoghurt there. Group tours are organised on request. The visit starts in the barn and ends with a presentation of products from the farm’s own livestock. If you are planning a group tour, check the arrangements before your visit.

When choosing a hotel in Perwez, you can first decide whether distance, the RAVeL, cultural history or a farm visit is the main focus of your stay. Then compare accommodation options according to your own travel needs. The distances provide a practical guide to the length of route you want; you can fit sightseeing and breaks into your plans accordingly.
