District:
Parking: CS Sart Tilman football ground, Rue de la Belle Jardinière in Angleur, or at the top of Rue Triolet (at the entrance to the woods).
(S/E) Start at the junction of Rue Belle Jardinière and Rue Triolet. Go down Rue Triolet.
Go through the gate and continue straight ahead, ignoring the path that branches off to the right. When the view opens up to the right onto a grassy area, turn right into it and then left (passing under an oak tree) towards a wood. 50 metres after entering the wood, take the path on the right and then immediately left at the fork.
(1) After passing a high-voltage pylon, keep left to go around it. When you reach a second pylon nearby, turn right onto a narrow path lined with large ferns. This path begins to descend, widens, and then arrives at the edge of a moor (Streupas moor). Continue on this same path between the moor and the woods.
Cross the moor straight ahead (ignore the two crossroads) to reach the edge of the woods at the other end. Keep to the right to skirt the woods, then enter them and start climbing.
(2) When you reach the top, take the path on the left which leads to a viewpoint over the Ourthe valley.
Continue on the path furthest to the left, which begins to descend to the sports fields. Take the small path on the left before reaching the bottom of the road, just at the corner of the last football field. This path follows the ravined hollow of a small valley. Halfway down the slope, it crosses to the other side of the valley and soon reaches some houses. Continue straight downhill (the path is now paved) to reach the main road alongside a railway line and the Ourthe river. Turn right onto the road and continue to the bridge.
(3) Turn left onto the bridge, then immediately left, between the railway line and the Ourthe, onto the ramp that leads to the path below. Pass under the bridge and follow the river to Rousseau Island.
After passing the bridge leading to the island by about 50 metres, turn right, cross the railway line and then the main road, and then take the tree-lined path leading off to the left.
(4) When you reach the houses, turn left at the end of the car park to find a path that runs between meadows and along a stream, parallel to the main road. Follow it to the edge of a wood. At the crossroads, turn right onto the forest path.
(5) When you reach the top (Colonster Castle gardens), continue along the paved path lined with a hedge that curves to the right. At the end of the path, turn left and cross straight ahead towards a meadow that runs alongside a wood. Follow this path to the end (about 200 m).
At the end of the path, in the woods, turn left, then keep to the right on the path that runs diagonally. When you reach a flight of steps, keep to the right.
Continue, ignoring the paths leading off to the left; after the concrete bridge, go up and turn right at the junction onto the gravel path. As this path begins a wide turn to the left, continue straight ahead on the narrow path which soon descends to a viewpoint.
(6) At the viewpoint, continue to the far left on the path that now follows the contour lines.
(7) As the path veers left to begin a steep slope, leave this path and continue straight ahead on a narrower path that continues to follow the contour lines and crosses a wasteland. When you reach the end of the wasteland (the edge of a wood in sight), descend to the right onto a rutted path. At the crossroads, turn left and then keep left to follow a path that overlooks a stream and eventually approaches it.
(8) When you reach the stream and a crossroads (concrete pillar in the middle of the stream), take the path on the left which goes back in the opposite direction while climbing. This path widens as it climbs. At the crossroads, turn right in the middle of a beech forest.
The path leads to a tarmac forest road (Chemin du Blanc Gravier), which you take to the right for a few metres, then take a path on the left that heads diagonally into the woods. This soon joins a tarmac road (Chemin de la Vallée), behind the university buildings, which you take to the right.
This road curves twice to the right and then crosses a stream to reach a crossroads. At the crossroads, take the tarmac road (lined with a narrow path) on the right. Continue straight ahead until you pass the university buildings (on the left) and arrive at a clearing (on the right) with a monument representing two half rugby balls ( Imago sculpture).
(9) Enter the clearing and take the path leading diagonally across it.
(10) As this path turns to the left, continue straight ahead on the narrower path. At the end of the path, at the crossroads, turn left onto the path that goes in the opposite direction. After 300 metres, take the path on the right, which then curves slightly to the right.
(11) This path soon reaches a crossroads, continues straight ahead for a few metres and then curves sharply to the left. It passes under the high-voltage power line and then runs alongside a meadow. Follow it to the end and turn right onto the forest path (GR®) after crossing the stream (concrete bridge).
When you reach the bottom of the sports fields, take the path on the left which leads to the car park (S/E) and then Rue Belle Jardinière.
