La Roche à Sept Heures in Monthermé

A lovely walk for the whole family. Numerous viewpoints over the Meuse and a wide variety of landscapes.Early spring is the perfect time to enjoy a clearer view of the Monthermé loop. We were inspired by the guidebook "Les Ardennes à pieds" for this hike.
On either side of the Ruisseau de l'Ours

Forest hike starting from Linchamps in the Hautes Rivières commune. A mountainous start, a passage through La Neuville aux Haies, a forest path overlooking the Ravin de l'Ours, a steep descent to find... the bear, and a peaceful finish.

From Les Hauts du Terne to Les Hauts Buttés

This hike will take you in the footsteps of the Cerceaux quarry workers and the inhabitants of the "Hauts" who once lived off livestock farming, crop cultivation and forestry.

In the Mortehan forest: the four streams, La Roche au Sel, the Gros Chêne

Warning dated 11 August 2025 following recent reports: fenced plantations, newly created paths and obsolete references are making it very difficult to follow this route. I will revisit it in its entirety in September. bozierbruno
Close to Belgium, this is an exclusively forest route which, especially in its first part, takes in little-visited natural areas. The modest streams have carved out a surprising landscape.La Roche au Sel, Le Gros Chêne, and L'Étang la Motte are worth a quick stop in the second part of the route.
Circular on the southern shore of Lac des Vieilles Forges
Walk along the lake on the undeveloped shore, then return to the starting point through the forest on the heights of the Bois de Renwez.
East of Navaux

A forest trail starting from a small village in the Semoy Valley. La Roche au Pihü, Les Dames de Semoy and the Robessart viewpoint offer magnificent views of the valley's relief.
In the Ardennes, on the smuggling trails
This hike will take you to the border valley of the Ruisseau du Bois Jean, which was once a hotspot for encounters, fraud and smuggling. The Baraque Laurent, the only one still standing, has now been converted into a lodge for groups. The other three huts have disappeared, but their ruins are still visible.

Tour of Lac des Vieilles Forges
