Circular route starting from Graty

Park along the Graty cemetery, located on Rue du Long Bois.

(S/E) With your back to the cemetery entrance, follow Rue du Long Bois to the left until you reach Rue d'Hoves. Turn right, staying on the pavement (be careful of traffic on Rue d'Hoves). Continue for about 200 metres.

(1) Turn left onto Rue du Meunier and follow it to Rue du Veneur. Keep to the right.

(2) Just before the junction, notice a small chapel dedicated to Saint Servatius and the Virgin Mary, known as the Chapelle au Beurre, on a small hill on the right. Leave Rue du Veneur and follow Avenue du Bois to the left for about 700 m.

(3) When the avenue turns right, turn left, go around the barrier and enter the Bois d'Enghien. Follow the path that crosses the Lietensbecq until you reach the first junction with a wider path.

(4) Turn right to join Chemin Royal. Continue along Chemin Royal to the right, ignoring the path that branches off to the left. At the next crossroads, leave Chemin Royal and take the second path on the left to reach Rue de l'Arcamp, which is on the edge of the Bois d'Enghien.

(5) Before the Pont sur la Marcq bridge, take the path on the left that climbs up to the Chapelle Notre-Dame des Affligés chapel.

(6) At the chapel, continue straight ahead on the path through the Bois d'Enghien to Rue du Veneur, which you cross. Opposite, slightly to the left, take the Sentier du Balcon (a gravel path that runs along the fence to the left of 126 Rue du Veneur). View of the Graty valley. This path joins Rue du Meunier.

(1) Retrace your steps along the outward route to the Graty cemetery (S/E).

In wet weather, the paths in the Bois d'Enghien are muddy; good shoes or even boots are recommended.

(6) Notre-Dame des Affligés Chapel, located not far from the bridge over the Marcq, which has its source in the heart of the Bois d'Enghien. An information panel provides details about the wildlife of the Marcq Valley.
