The paths may be muddy in places. Please wear suitable footwear.
Set off to explore the western part of the Malchamps Fagnes, with a superb view to the east from the top of the Berinzenne Tower. Then head west along the ridge towards the Col du Rosier before turning off into the forest towards the Thiers des Rexhons ski run. A little further on, you’ll discover the Spa springs. The path linking the Fontaine de la Géronstère (to the south) with the Barisart spring (to the north) is simply splendid. And the path leading up towards Pouhon Pia is just as interesting. All that remains is to make your way back to the starting point, passing close to the picnic and barbecue area at the Domaine de Berinzenne.
