This fairly long and adjustable hike, measuring approximately 40 km, will take you along numerous small paths and allow you to discover some of the monuments of the Herve region and its surroundings. You will begin your adventure in the peaceful little village of Chaineux, then take a small rural path via Manaihant to the Xénemont mill (please note that the tunnel crossing the motorway may be closed). You will then pass through the town of Herve, where you will discover a farmhouse ice cream parlour. Head towards line 38 (an old railway line) towards a slag heap in Soumagne (an old coal mining area). Continue your journey through the small village of Melen and its woods and pass in front of Bolland Castle. You can decide to climb up to see the Charneux cross or follow the main road towards Battice to return to Chaineux via the meadows.
