At La Faloise, a stele is engraved with a curious blacksmith, the peat cutter with his large spade, reminiscent of the days when peat was harvested in this region.

A pleasant walk under a beautiful blue sky, flat and exposed terrain, alternating between plains and paths near groves, definitely best avoided in strong winds.
Lovely walk.

Start in front of the small chapel.
This is a rural route, so wear suitable footwear (there are lots of muddy patches) and be prepared for some steep slopes if you stray more than 10 metres from the route.
The circular route is not easy to spot, as there are not enough signposts.

A pleasant walk through the forest, passing by ponds.
Be careful not to forget to take the map with you, as the markings disappear at two crossroads.
In this region, our dear farmers tend to remove signposts to increase the size of their fields...

Really nice, beautiful nature around La Noye. On the way back, we turned left at the old mill to follow the course of La Noye, and it's magnificent there.
