Superb walk apart from the very muddy forest section. There are also two stretches of road with no protection for pedestrians on the RN.

A varied profile: riverside, forest edge, fields and meadows.
We even saw 2 storks in a meadow on the banks of the Lys.
A slightly dangerous section along part of a secondary road though.

Go over a bridge (there is no bridge)

nice walk, just over 5 km, through the forest then along the lys: the variety of landscapes is very pleasant.
I'd do it again. Be careful after long periods of rain, or in winter, as the path through the forest is muddy.

The start of the route is quite pleasant. However, the end, along the Lys, should be done in dry weather, as the terrain is grassy and therefore potentially very wet in the event of rain. You get the impression that this part of the route has been abandoned...

A lovely walk today, with the baby storks clearly visible, comfortably installed in their nest.

A short family hike through the woods and along the river. Varied scenery! At the end of the wood a passage on a road with traffic and no pavement. All in all a very pleasant walk!

The route is nice but there's not much to see. The proximity of the hunters spoiled the fun a bit. There's always the fear of stray bullets . It's important to be well-equipped because most of the course is very muddy at this time of year.

A pleasant, fairly varied, easy and well-marked route. You need to be well shod as there are some muddy stretches on the edge of the forest, at least at this time of year.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

It might be a good idea to clear the undergrowth on the path along the Lys.

The maintenance of the paths and markings is not the responsibility of either the author or visorando.

A+

Super hike, well validated and varied route
Ideal for digesting after Sunday lunch.
No small bridge found at the start of the walk.
Eventually it would be good to clear the undergrowth along the Lys.

Good walk under the Nieppe forest, especially interesting in very hot weather, then along the banks of the Lys, much appreciated amongst all the country flowers. The D122 is a bit dangerous, it's a shame there's no pavement.
