This route is a wonderful surprise, mostly through the forest (80%) and surrounding villages.
The trails are well maintained and clearly marked. Streams accompany us for a significant part of the hike.
You need to wear suitable footwear: there is quite a significant elevation gain, and you can feel that you are getting closer to the Ardennes... everything I love!
Thank you for this discovery!
