Mainly through woodland, as its name suggests, this circular walk takes you on a journey of discovery through the Pouhon valley, starting from the car park and barbecue area near the Saint-Roch secondary school, which is well known throughout the region.
Shortly after crossing the Pouhon near the hamlet of La Levée, the route passes by the Sainte-Anne Chapel and a second barbecue area where you’ll find everything you need for a picnic break or shelter if it rains.
At the five-kilometre mark, after the riding centre, don’t hesitate to enter the grounds of the Misery Brewery and head to the right of the manor house, as the public footpath starts right next to it, between the building and the Paradis stream.
Towards the end of the route, you’ll come across Saint-Roch Chapel between two stretches of countryside.
The return to the starting point follows a section of the old country lane that once linked Comblain-la-Tour to Hotton via Ferrières and Manhay.
