A few explanations are necessary to avoid getting lost, as the paths and trails known to OpenStreetMap do not exist/no longer exist on the ground between (8) and (10):
The carriageway that follows the edge of the forest coming from Revogne ends in a cul-de-sac at (8).
(8) Turn right onto a barely visible path and continue straight ahead to the top of the ravine.
(9) Turn slightly to the right, walking alongside the hunting blinds until you reach a clearly visible crossroads.
(10) Ignore the path that branches off to the right and continue straight ahead on one of the two parallel paths.
Lavaux-Saint-Anne is an ideal place to start a hike that is half countryside, half forest, not only in Famenne but also in Calestienne. The route offers beautiful panoramic views of the Famenne depression. The Château de Lavaux-Sainte-Anne is listed as a major heritage site in Wallonia. It is open to visitors and features 32 furnished and decorated rooms, 3 themed museums, a wetland area and a deer park.
Revogne Castle is not open to visitors but is clearly visible on arrival in the village from the other side of the Wimbe. The route passes through the old gate of the medieval enclosure and the small church located on the hillside below the castle. The third historical gem of the hike is the imposing building of the Ferme d'Esclaye. However, the castle is not visible from public paths.
