Departure from Andenne (Province de Namur)
A short, pleasant circular walk, partly through woodland, featuring two steep climbs. It offers the chance to explore the Sclaigneaux Nature Reserve, which is unique in that it was created as a result of heavy metal soil pollution (from zinc smelters). It features an arid landscape of limestone grasslands dotted with a few trees, mainly birches. The numerous holes dug into the limestone grasslands are remnants of military exercises that took place here between the two world wars.
