To the Pont du Sanglier from Redu
A lovely walk of nearly 11 km, mostly along the banks of the Lesse and through the woods.
Start from the centre of Redu near the tavern.
There you’ll find a small beach (1) where you can have a picnic or dip your toes in the water.
The route is fairly easy, although there are a few short climbs, but nothing too difficult.
I simply crossed the Lesse at (5) about 750 m from the Pont du Sanglier (4) – the water was 30 cm deep – to follow the riverbank in the opposite direction; otherwise, you can turn around and retrace your steps to rejoin the route at the Pont du Sanglier.
And to finish off, enjoy a drink on the terrace at the tavern at the starting point.

Starting from the hamlet of Lesse, the walk begins by following the river of the same name upstream on the left bank, crosses it at the Moulin de Molhan and then heads along the right bank towards Villance.Shortly after the 4-kilometre mark, the route branches off due south towards the Pont de la Justice before reaching the centre of Maissin. On leaving Maissin, the walk heads out into the countryside before entering the forest and descending gently towards the Our, which you follow almost to its confluence with the Lesse. No difficulties apart from a bit of mud here and there.
