Autour du Verbamont en suivant les ruisseaux et rivières

La randonnée débute sur le plateau du Verbamont. Vous traverserez les chênaies puis descendrez dans une première vallée d'un ruisseau sauvage, en saison quelques petites cascades et un paysage de mousses verte. Découverte d'un bel étang à Senennes, puis votre parcours se poursuit surplombant la rivière Ourche toujours sur des petits sentiers forestiers.

La majeure partie de cette boucle se fait sur des chemins forestiers, parfois difficiles d'accès, et hors des sentiers. Il est fortement conseillé de se munir de l'application Visorando afin d'éventuellement se géolocaliser.

Description of the walk

Parking at the La Clairière du Verbamont eco-campsite (non-private car park) or below the campsite (three spaces).

(S/E) From La Clairière du Verbamont campsite, follow the road towards Henricel. Take the first gravel track on the right.

(1) Turn left onto a forest track between plots no. 169 and 168. You’ll come out onto a grassy track; follow it to the left for about 150 m.

(2) Join a gravel track and follow it to the right. When this track turns right (plot no. 647), leave it, veer left and head down off-track towards a river. Cross the river and head off to the right to follow the river (again, there is no path; follow the easiest route along the river). After about a hundred metres, you will reach a gravel track.

(3) Follow the track along the river and ignore all the turnings on the left. You will reach a junction (house).

(4) Follow the road to the right as it climbs for 150 m.

(5) Just before the MTB 39 signpost, turn left onto a downhill path; be careful as this path is not very visible (if in doubt, we recommend using GPS). Follow this narrow Ourche path (in several places, the path is blocked by branches) and some sections may be wet. Ignore all turn-offs to the left. You will reach La Forge Neuve (ponds on the left).
(6) Follow the white arrows and climb steeply up a path alongside a large rock. At the top of the hill, turn left and join the road. Follow it to the right until you reach the car park (S/E).
