Fresnicourt-le-Dolmen walks

A superb little walk to do in good weather. Ideal in hot weather, this walk offers both the comfort of the forest and beautiful views, as most of the path to Parc d'Olhain runs along the edge of the forest. Views and coolness, what a joy.

Walk in the Fresnicourt le Dolmen area Starting from Olhain Castle and heading towards the "Table aux Fées" dolmen, you will pass two sandstone crosses dating from the 13th and 16th centuries, then the hamlet of Verdrel and the Olhain State Forest with its leisure centre, before returning through the forest. Superb views over the plain and its villages. It is best to do this walk in dry weather as the paths can be difficult in wet conditions.

A long route with significant elevation gain and some fairly difficult paths.The path between (3) and (4) is very difficult but can be avoided. It was passable in late September 2025 (dry season).There are a few road crossings, but with very little traffic.

A short route, on paths that are more or less paved, pleasant in all seasons (except during very wet periods) with a passage at the Gué de Caucourt. 1- Hermin Town Hall advises against using the path between points (11) and (12) until the end of 2025. It is now April 2026 and nothing has changed: no works are underway and there are barriers on both sides. I have just walked along it and it is perfectly passable, though still treacherous.

The ideal time to visit this variant of Les Alouettes, with its beautiful vegetable gardens, magnificent hydrangea beds and a farmyard with a majestic and somewhat pretentious royal turkey.

Caucourt is a small village near Olhain.From the church, you cross pleasant plains and villages, especially on sunny days.Avoid this route in very hot weather, as it is not much shade; in rain or fog, the view won't be as good!... In the direction of the trail, you'll save the best until last, the Gué de Caucourt and its mill.

Ideal for a family walk, this route passes through the villages of Servins and Gouy-Servins. You’ll walk along grassy and stony paths, as well as tarmac roads. You’ll catch sight of the Bouvigny-Boyeffles mast and enjoy lovely views of the surrounding countryside.

A very green route in the Artois hills, with two beautiful climbs and a minimum of roads. This route, which is already difficult, becomes very difficult in wet weather. I walked it on 25/02/2026 and some of the paths were barely passable.

At the start, a short walk around the ponds is a must. The walk then descends towards Hersin, passing the town hall and its green walls. You then need to cross the park before reaching the Coron Béclet. After that, head back up towards the ponds. The route follows paths and a short stretch of tarmac.

A short walk on good paths in the hills above La Comté. On a clear day, the panorama is superb, and if you're luckier than me, you'll spot a few deer.

This hike starting from Parc Germinal will take you along the old cavaliers (railway tracks from the mining era), passing through the hamlet of Blanc Mont. You will walk along the Loisnes before returning to Hersin to cross the public garden and the slag heap.

This local hike will take you up to the heights of Coupigny, then past the Étangs des Claires Fontaines, the Corons Beclet and, of course, the slag heap. The hike is on good paths and offers beautiful biodiversity.

This hike takes you along good paths through Verdrel, Bracquencourt and Barlin's Cité n°9, without any major difficulties.A bit of history: Coupigny gave its name to a large noble family from Artois. Its official name appeared in 1801.

A short, very picturesque walk in the countryside south of Hersin-Coupigny. Amidst fields, meadows and gardens, you can admire the countryside of the mining basin.
