City:
There are a few benches and picnic tables along the route on the Godinne side.
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.

Notes
Worth a visit
Two short detours off the route allow you to see the13th-century St Martin's Chapel in Ivoy and the Meuse River in Godinne.
A longer detour towards the centre of Crupet allows you to discover the magnificent castle surrounded by moats (called Donjon Carondelet) as well as the cave and statue of its founding priest.

I now live in Ivoy, on the route of this circular path, which combines woodland scenery with landscapes characterised by livestock farming and arable fields.
I’ve shortened the circular route to 13km whilst keeping the elevation gain at nearly 400m. Yesterday I didn’t see a soul, except during the short stretch through the village of Mont. A lovely breath of fresh air...

A beautiful, not too long route starting from the old Bauche railway station. Parking is available for several cars. The route can be done in either direction. It's up to you to choose whether you prefer to return via the Bocq valley, which is very pretty. Be careful in wet weather, as some paths are slippery. Allow 3 hours and 15 minutes for a leisurely walk.

A beautiful hike through woods and along quiet roads. The trail starts in the centre of the village of Jassogne, where there is a small car park for six cars. Alternatively, there is a larger car park next to a school, but it is best to use this outside school hours. There are beautiful views of the villages of Jassogne, Maillen and Ivoy.
Circular through the woods and along the Bocq river from Bordon.

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.
