Things to see along the route: a beautiful view of Laloux, a magnificent statue of a galloping horse in a garden, an old house typical of the region, an old wash house and the Queen Astrid Chapel in Briquemont.
A magnificent, airy forest where, with a bit of luck, you may see a deer or two frolicking.
The view opens up and offers countryside landscapes as you approach the villages of Frandeux, Laloux, Briquemont and Éprave.

Circular in Famenne starting from the Château de Lavaux-Sainte-Anne
Lavaux-Saint-Anne is an ideal place to start a hike that is half countryside, half forest, not only in Famenne but also in Calestienne. The route offers beautiful panoramic views of the Famenne depression. The Château de Lavaux-Sainte-Anne is listed as a major heritage site in Wallonia. It is open to visitors and features 32 furnished and decorated rooms, 3 themed museums, a wetland area and a deer park.Revogne Castle is not open to visitors but is clearly visible on arrival in the village from the other side of the Wimbe. The route passes through the old gate of the medieval enclosure and the small church located on the hillside below the castle. The third historical gem of the hike is the imposing building of the Ferme d'Esclaye. However, the castle is not visible from public paths.
Between Lomme and Masblette
A walk through the rolling Ardennes countryside around two rivers that are emblematic of the region.
The Masblette is a tributary of the Lomme (also spelled L'Homme in some sources). Their confluence is located between the villages of Lesterny and Masbourg, south of Forrières.
Around Lissoir
A hike with a slight elevation gain, mostly on passable paths. The route is perfectly feasible with children, but not with pushchairs.
Only the first 800 metres are on the road, after which there are only paths reserved for pedestrians, cyclists and possibly horse riders.
