Notes

There’s a short stretch of tarmac as you leave Salet, during the two crossings of Haut-le-Wastia – on the RAVeL in the valley and at Warnant.
There are relatively few benches. There are plenty of picnic tables in the car park near the campsite close to La Molignée.

Those looking for a bit more of a challenge can continue straight on (2) and complete a circular route via the Bois du Curé, turning off just before the Grange farm, and/or continue along the path beneath Les Aujes (10) towards the Trou de Spaugne, joining the route of the old local road further east.

Worth a visit

The valleys of the Meuse and the Molignée
Maredsous Abbey
The ruins of the medieval castle of Montaigle
The Museum of Remembrance in Haut-le-Wastia
