Quite a few benches along the route.
A few picnic tables (S/E), (2), (10).
Bar and brasserie (S/E).
Circular at Logne Castle
This fairly long circular loop starting from the Palogne estate (large car park) begins by following the course of the Ourthe for a few kilometres before entering a forest and then countryside setting with numerous panoramic views of the plateau overlooking the Ourthe and its tributaries.
On the Ourthe: egrets, ducks, cormorants and herons await you.
You will see the rocks and the "beach" of Sy, where you can read an information panel about the aborted Meuse-Moselle canal project.
Further on, you will pass close to Lassus Castle, which can be glimpsed between the tall trees in its grounds.
In Vieuxville, it is probably the resurgence of the Lembrée that will catch your eye, before you see the limestone grasslands further on and finally the fortified castle of Logne.
With a bit of luck (in season), you can even visit (for a fee) the ruins of this fortified castle built on top of a rocky outcrop.

A peaceful stroll with magnificent views of the forests. It ends on a welcoming terrace. The walk starts in the village. Halfway along, you reach the highest point. Here, the walk takes you along a quiet road. Then you descend towards the village through a small wood, passing an enclosure occupied by long-haired pigs!

With a stated length of 6 km and an elevation gain of 125 m in a rural setting, we discovered a very pretty village with interesting architectural heritage and beautiful restorations. This hunt took us along streets and roads, country lanes and forest paths. There is a significant elevation gain, which is not mandatory, to find the Pierre de Haina.

This variation of our Three Provinces Walk in Bonsin is a little shorter but, it should be noted, involves a little more tarmac on fairly quiet country roads.
