Parking is available after the church, at the exit of the village towards Jalhay.
(S/E) Head back towards the church. Well before you reach it, take the road on the left and continue straight ahead along the dead-end road.
(1) Turn right onto the path and go down towards the bridge over the Statte, ignoring the roads on either side. Cross the bridge. At the picnic area, enter the forest on your right.
Blue rectangle signpost
Take the path along the stream. Cross the bridge, which will be the first of many. Go up the Statte. After a few bridges, you will see a bridge in the distance on your right, which you should ignore.
(2) Continue straight ahead to the Bilisse rock on the GR®44. Ignore the path leading up to the top of the rock and continue along the Statte.
(3) Pass in front of the Cascade des Nutons. Continue straight ahead until you reach the road. Turn right, cross the bridge and take the path on the left, continuing along the stream towards Le Pierrier. The forest gives way to a more marshy landscape.
No signposts
(4) At the crossroads, do not continue towards Pierrier but go straight ahead towards Wihonfagne. At the crossroads with the forest path, cross it and take the path that continues to follow the stream. At the road, turn left and immediately turn right and continue along the path towards Wihonfagne.
(5) At the next forest path, go around the fence by taking the bridge hidden under the fir trees. Go up to the left towards "Lu fosse à troufes" in Wihonfagne. There will be forest on your left and marshland on your right.
(6) At the crossroads, after "Lu fosse", continue straight ahead until you reach a wider forest path. Turn left and continue to the bend.
(7) Continue along the path starting from the bend. Be particularly careful because the path you need to take is immediately on your right, between two fir trees. A sign for La Vecquée is visible under the branches of the fir tree after the entrance to the path. At the end of the path, you will arrive at La Vecquée. Turn right and descend towards the Hoëgne. Ignore the paths on either side of the main path. Pass various boundary markers.
(8) A bench on your right indicates that you are more than halfway through La Vecquée. Continue straight ahead until you reach the river.
GR® signposting
(9) Just before the river, turn onto the path on the right under the Vallée de la Hoëgne archway. Follow it downhill, crossing from one bank to the other several times along the valley. On the heights, before crossing a bridge, you may be tempted to stop at a viewpoint. Feel free to climb up, but there is nothing spectacular to see. Cross the bridge and continue downhill. Go back up the forest path at the shelters and benches. Ignore the path but follow the railing so you don't miss the rest of the trail along the river.
(10) Pass the Leopold II waterfall and then the Marie-Henriette waterfall.
(11) When you reach the end of the valley, you will find yourself in a car park. Leave the Hoëgne and take the forest path opposite. Keep following the GR®. At the fork, turn left. Ignore the path on your right.
(12) At the next fork, turn right. Then ignore the path leading off to the left. Continue straight ahead. At the top of the hill, turn left. Continue along the main path and leave the woods. The path ends at a road.
Turn left. Descend towards the village. Pass the replica of the Lourdes grotto. At the church, turn right. Be careful, you are on a busy road. Return to the car park (S/E).
