Start from the car park at Place de Penne d'Agenais, Rue de Lintermans, in the centre of Seneffe.
(S/E) With your back to the car park, turn left onto Rue Lintermans, towards the canals, cross over the Samme and then, at the end of thefirst canal on your right, continue right along the path running alongside the canal on your left.
(1) At the road (Drève du Château de Seneffe), cross it and head towards the small bridge on the right. Just before it, turn left and follow the tarmac Ravel path between the Samme and the old canal until you reach thesecond bridge, which is located after a bend in the Ravel path on the left. Cross it to follow theGR® on the right along the opposite bank. The path continues at the end of the small car park located there. At the start of this path, note the old mooring posts. If you have young children with you, be careful: the path is sometimes very close to the water and the uneven ground makes it easy to slip. Continue to the next bridge.
(2) Cross the canal again, then follow the semi-paved path to the left until you reach a gate blocking the way along the canal. The canal runs underground here in the “Souterrain de Godarville”. Go back a few metres and take the small path on the left, which joins the one you left a little earlier. Head up to the left until you reach a flat area with an old canal ventilation shaft on your left. Follow theGR® until you emerge from the woods onto Rue Bête Refaite.
(3) Continue along the path opposite, veering slightly to the right. This path becomes extremely bumpy in its second section and the potholes are often filled with water. Follow the new Charleroi–Brussels Canal whilst staying on the higher ground and in the woods until you reach thefirst clear fork.
(4) Turn left, then left again to stay level with the bridge, which you will soon reach. Cross it and, 20 m further on, take a path down to the right.
(5) Follow this path at mid-level and you will reach a small wood, then a dog training centre, as well as the meeting point for the73rd Baden Powell Sea Scouts unit. After a short descent, you will reach the Ravel and the small marina at Seneffe.
(6) Cross the bridge and continue by turning right to stay on the towpath. As thefirst bridge is closed for repairs, continue along the canal to the N27 bridge. A flight of steps is located just before the bridge, allowing you to cross it.
(7) At the top of the steps, turn right and continue straight on for about 300 m. At the junction with the road on the right, cross it and take a path leading to trail 144. This runs between the back gardens of the houses and a field.
(8) At the end of the path, turn right (Rue du Roi Albert) then left onto Avenue Roi Baudouin. After about 350 m, at a lorry park, take the small path branching off to the right into the woods, join the Ravel and head left. At Drève du Château, continue straight ahead and you will reach Place de Penne d'Agenais (S/E).
