Around Mozet

A lovely walk around the village of Mozet. Starting from the church, the first part of the route is along streets, then it alternates between fields and woods on a fairly easy route.

Description of the walk

Departure from Mozet Church.

(S/E) From the church, go up Tienne Saint-Lambert and then take the first left, Rue Pieltain.

(1) On the left, just after a hedge, a small path runs alongside a field. It is discreet and easy to miss...
At the end of the path, take the street to the right uphill and at the multiple crossroads, take thesecond street on the right, at the cross that gives the street its name.

(2) Follow the concrete paths on the right that cross a small park to reach a road a little further on. There, turn right and go downhill until you reach the first street on the left. Take Rue de la Fabrique, which runs alongside a property with a pond that you can see as you pass. A little further on, turn left into Rue des Mozet and continue downhill.

(3) At the right-hand bend, take the fairly steep cul-de-sac on the left. This continues along a path that runs alongside the Bois d'Herpet on the right and fields on the left. Continue along the path until you reach a fork.

(4) Turn onto the path on the left, which is closed by a small turnstile gate, and continue straight ahead along the path. The path passes in front of the Ferme du Bois de Wiame farm and joins a road. Continue straight ahead; the road becomes a path. After a building, take the cul-de-sac on the right.

(5) At the edge of the woods, follow the path on the left along the field.

(6) At the end of the path, turn right onto Rue de Loyers. Walk up this road until you reach the next intersection.

(7) Turn left, then take the path that branches off slightly to the left and leads to Ferme Bialy.

(8) Just after the farm, take the path on the left that descends towards the woods.

(9) At the end of the path, continue left along the path that runs alongside the Bois de Gueussaux and descends to reach the village of Mozet a little further on via Rue de la Résistance.

(10) Take Rue du Tronquoy, which descends to the right. After a left turn, you will see the bell tower that marks the end of the route. At the end of the street, turn right down Rue de Loyers and after a few metres, cross the street to take a narrow passage between the houses. This runs alongside the church before reaching the end of the route (S/E).

The first part of the hike was great. But unfortunately, it's hunting season, and halfway through, the planned route became inaccessible. What's more, the shouting and so on from the beaters was stressful... not to mention the gunshots. It's a shame this time, but we'll do it again under different circumstances. However, the azimuths we had to take were interesting...Long live adventure!

During hunting season, a good, safe alternative for stretching your legs. On the other hand: half countryside, half residential area
Muddy paths.
Discover the pretty village of Mozet.
2 hours of easy walking.
Thank you.

A very hilly route in a natural setting. I would classify it as moderately difficult due to a few steep slopes. Definitely worth doing.

A beautiful alternation between village, fields and woods, with lovely views once you reach the heights.

A very beautiful hike, but once again there was a problem with the choice of paths... I follow the description rather than the GPS, so the details in the text are essential, and we had a problem finding our way near the hare farm. The farm is not listed under this name in large print, and a path on the left is ignored...
We got there in the end, but it would be better if there were more details in the text...
Thank you!
It was a superb hike and Mozet is magnificent!

Quite a pretty route. Very pretty section (between 3 and 6), and a slightly less pretty section (6-9) in autumn at least: paths rutted by large agricultural machinery, in other seasons it's probably better). The description does leave a little to be desired. Rue Pieltain is the second on the left, not the first! The concrete path (point 2) is not immediately visible; you first have to turn right and walk a few metres along the road to the junction with Rue des Comognes. After point 3, ignore the first fork (at the entrance to the woods), but continue into the woods and take the fork with the turnstile after leaving the woods. After the Bois de Wiame farm, it is not really a road, but rather a gravel path, which you follow until you reach another large building. Several "paths" in the description are actually farm tracks.

Nothing to say about the walk, which is exactly as described and just what we like. Mozet is a beautiful village that is definitely worth a visit, but given the potential of the region, there could have been more to explore, as there is quite a lot of tarmac. However, the description is very incomplete and imprecise! Thank goodness for GPS and apps; without them, we'd still be wandering around! There's a real lack of information to help you find your way around and the terms used are rather vague. For example: a dirt track suitable for vehicles is either a farm track or a forest track, depending on its location. It's definitely not a footpath! The aim is to enjoy the scenery rather than have your eyes glued to the map, GPS or mobile phone. The walk is also signposted for much of the route, so why not mention that? It's a shame! The mileage seems accurate, but what about the elevation gain? The difficulty? We'd say it's medium: there are some steep hills with gradients of over 10%, which will get your heart rate up. What about with children?
Room for improvement
All the best
