The starting point is located in a large car park near a dog training club. To get there, leave Rue Alphonse Libert in Java and turn left onto Rue Nestor Evrard. Immediately after the railway bridge, turn left and follow the road to the end (dog training club).
(S/E) Keeping the dog club on your left, take the small path opposite (north), half-hidden in the scrub. Cross the stream at the ford and turn left (west), heading uphill along a stony path bordered by a slope on the right-hand side.
(1) At the junction, turn right and continue uphill. At the fork, ignore the left-hand branch and continue straight ahead. You will reach the Trouée de Vivaqua, perpendicular to the path (sign saying ‘private property’).
(2) Turn left into the clearing, a wide, straight, treeless, grassy path. The clearing is blocked by a cable that prevents vehicle access but is open to pedestrians at the sides. Along this path, you will cross one track on the left and then four on the right. Begin a steep descent, cross the Ruisseau de Fréraine and climb up the other side to a junction of dirt tracks.
(3) Turn left and head downhill. Ignore the first dirt track on the left, then a private track leading to a house. Join a tarmac road and follow it to the right.
(4) When the road bends to the left, take a path on the right and head back up into the woods. This path, initially stony, turns into a dirt track. Cross the Vivaqua clearing (not shown on the IGN map) and continue along the path (north-north-west).
(5) At the junction (path blocked slightly to the left), turn right. Stay roughly level and cross a barely visible stream. You’ll reach an open area from where you can see the distant view towards the Meuse. At the first junction, continue straight on until you reach a crossroads.
(6) Turn left onto a forest track. At the next junction, go straight on. Leave the woods and continue straight on.
(7) You’ll come out onto Rue des Theysses; follow it to the right. After passing several houses on the left, continue along a dirt track between the vineyards. At the first junction, continue straight ahead. At a fork, take the left-hand branch. At the next crossroads, turn right onto a magnificent forest path. You will soon reach the junction with the Trouée Vivaqua, which you took on the way out.
(2) Go straight downhill and ignore the paths branching off to the right.
(1) Turn left and continue downhill (watch out for a few sections where the rock is exposed and may be slippery). This will take you back to the starting car park (S/E).
