Park at La Croix-Michel in the small car park on the side of the N62, on the right as you come from Beaufays.
:
/A Cross the road carefully and head straight into the Croix-Michel housing estate. Immediately take the path on your right which leads further into a wood.
(1) At the junction, turn right and continue to the N62.
(2) You are at the summit of the legendary Côte des Forges, used by cyclists during the Liège-Bastogne-Liège race. Take care when crossing the main road as there is no pedestrian crossing. Take Rue de la Drève, which is opposite and slightly to the right, to arrive opposite Gomzé-Andoumont Castle.
(3) Continue to the right to reach the pond, where you can spot some beautiful birds resting between flights.
(4) At the corner of the pond, turn left. A little further on, you’ll enjoy an even more beautiful view of the rear of the château. Head straight on, cross a wood to reach the junction with Rue de Ferreuse.
(5) Turn right, ignoring the path branching off to the right. Shortly afterwards, veer right at the fork to reach Rue de Stinval, which you follow to the right, leaving the road leading to Blindef on your left. About a hundred metres before Rue de Sendrogne, leave the road and follow the local track to the right, which rejoins it further on after a left-hand bend.
(6) Turn right to follow the road. Cross the bridge over the motorway and continue straight on until you reach the junction with the N30 at Hornay.
(7) Turn right and follow this road carefully for about 400 m.
(8) Turn right and continue in the same direction. Cross the Allée des Bouleaux then turn left to join the N674.
(9) Cross with care, then turn right. Caution! This is the most hazardous part of the walk, where for 600 m you’ll be walking alongside a main road where cars travel quite fast. Please walk on the hard shoulder and in single file if you’re in a group. Go under the motorway and walk for about 300 m.
(10) Turn left at a 180° angle onto a grassy path that joins a tarmac road. Turn right and head straight on to the Croix Michel, where the car park is located (S/E).
