The Sclaigneaux Nature Reserve and a little further on

This beautiful walk in the northern hills of the Meuse starts at the car park of the Sclaigneaux Nature Reserve.
At the start, there is a lovely view of the Meuse valley, limestone grasslands, orchids in season, old quarries and sand pits.
Skirting the Bois des Douze Bonniers, the trail begins at km 3 on a steep path leading up to the agricultural plateau of Landenne. Caution: very slippery in wet weather.
A short detour on the way back allows you to admire the Château-Ferme du Chant d'Oiseaux, where you can buy a few local products on a self-service basis.

the reserve is a magical place, but watch out for ticks, as they carry borreliosis (Lyme disease)
