Warning: route without description or waypoints, therefore does not offer all the guarantees of hikes usually published on Visorando.
Parking at the start. Descent towards Bauche in the shade. At Bauche, follow Chansin then head back up towards Durnal at the crossroads near the barriers. The climb is long but the surface is more pleasant and flatter than on the descent.
Hike without description, to be followed with the Visorando app.

Notes
Other walks in the area
From Crupet to Ronchine
After approximately 960 metres, the slope is steep, then reasonably uphill for about 2.3 kilometres.From there, it is all downhill until the last 200 metres.Very steep descent at around 4 kilometres, with a chain provided as a handrail.Start and finish at the same place. Car park 30 metres away.
Circular around the Bocq
Numerous quarries have been or are still being exploited in the Bocq valley between Spontin (upstream) and Yvoir (downstream), and a railway line was built there connecting Yvoir to Ciney - via a few bridges and tunnels - to facilitate the transport of production. The line, which has been officially decommissioned, is operated between Évrehailles-Bauche and Ciney by the non-profit organisation Chemin de Fer du Bocq, which offers various activities, including, of course, trips in historic railcars and/or passenger carriages pulled by a steam locomotive. In short, the section between Bauche and Spontin has been reoriented towards tourism, and there are numerous trails and paths for exploring this beautiful region on foot. This walk is an invitation to explore, starting from Purnode.

Spontin and the Bocq Valley
This walk takes place in the Bocq valley between Spontin and Purnode. It takes you through woods and countryside to the villages of Durnal and Dorinne. Views of the river, the forest and the hills, now increasingly 'decorated' with wind turbines.
Circular between Ivoy and Godinne via Mont, Bauche and Crupet.
Forest paths and trails, small country roads with little traffic, and paths connecting villages are sure to delight you in this part of the Namur Condroz. Large farms still in operation on the Assesse side, opulent houses on the banks of the Meuse and the Tricointe castle farm, completely renovated for housing and leisure on the Godinne side: the route allows you to discover a whole world of differences. The route offers a beautiful view of the Meuse valley from the heights of Mont-Godinne.
The cave and keep of Crupet
