Cornichai 02/BX 13 via Plat Bois
This is the Cornichai 02/BX 13 walk, modified to avoid tarmac roads. The route has therefore been re-planned to favour dirt tracks or rocky paths in places, whilst retaining more or less the same route.

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!

Departure from Bertrix (Province de Luxembourg)
This region of the southern Ardennes is particularly active in forestry: the small village of Jéhonville alone has two sawmills.
The forest is omnipresent, even though the route crosses a few areas of pasture and crops.
The hike is a free combination of sections of local walking trails, GR® trails, the "Between Lesse and Lomme" route that circles the municipality of Libin, and unmarked but publicly accessible paths.
The route crosses a didactic route called "Sur les traces de 14-18" (In the footsteps of 14-18) and passes through the Vieille Rochette Nature Reserve.
You may or may not like the unusual shape of the bell tower of the church in Jéhonville.
