Walk downhill for about 250 m; a stream also follows this path – don’t let it distract you. Look out for a fork in the road that isn’t shown on the IGN map.
(9) Turn slightly left. The stream continues along the other path. Walk downhill; you’ll have a clear view of Amberloup in the distance. You’ll reach a wide forest track; cross it and carry on straight ahead. The path turns right and widens. A stream crosses the path. At the crossroads, carry on straight ahead. Lift the gate to open it and pull the latch.
(10) On your left, take the footbridge over the Ruisseau de Bockaissart. The path becomes a road. At the junction with a huge oak tree and its wayside shrine, carry on straight ahead. At the N829, turn right, walk past the church and return to your car park (S/E).
