Difficult
Departure from Bertrix (Province de Luxembourg)
Set off to explore the Château des Fées, a rocky outcrop secured by a few low stone walls, as well as the Bertrix Arboretum, where you can discover numerous specimens of trees from all corners of the world.This beautiful, exclusively woodland walk, which is very quiet, should be considered difficult not only because of its cumulative elevation gain but also due to a few sections on steeply sloping paths or paths that are virtually non-existent on the ground. It’s not the Alps or the Vosges... just Wallonia on the Semois side!

Bouillon – Florenville

8h 55
Very difficult
Departure from Bouillon (Belgique) (Province de Luxembourg)
Leaving Bouillon and its castle to reach Florenville means linking the two ends of the Semois by crossing the plateau and its forests rather than following the river’s course and meanders; it is therefore a long climb followed by a gradual descent; it also means leaving a town on tarmac, travelling along stony paths and dirt tracks, crossing two fords, and returning to tarmac to reach the town again. And it’s a long walk of over 26 kilometres. The accommodation I’ve chosen in Florenville is the campsite.
