Starting in front of Naninne Church, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Dave Stream valley on your left. The return trip is on the other side.
(S/E) Leave the village via Rue des Anémones on the right, then turn left into the cul-de-sac, which continues along a small path running alongside the fields.
(1) A little further on, the path joins the Chemin de Sainte-Anne, which you follow straight ahead for 200 metres to reach a path that leads into the woods. This path descends gently towards the Meuse valley without any great difficulty.
On the way, you will notice the chapel built on the exact spot where the postman Joseph Roland was killed (see "During the hike or nearby").
(2) At the end of the path, follow the road to the right, continue along Route de Longeau, pass in front of the restaurant "Le 54" and then carefully cross the N947 to take an underpass that joins the towpath.
(3) Turn left and walk alongside Dave Castle on the banks of the Meuse to the church. At the end of the street, turn left into the village of Dave, where you can enjoy the narrow streets if you wish.
(4) Go under the railway tracks.
On the other side, go back a little way and follow the N947 for a few dozen metres, then turn right into Rue de Marchonvaux. This fairly short street ends at an imposing house.
In front of the property gates, turn left and follow the path that runs along the walls, then through the woods and behind the properties.
(5) At the end, a few steps allow you to cross the right of way of a house before reaching Rue de l'École. Turn left for a few metres before taking "La Haie des Pauvres", a small path that climbs up to the right.
(6) When you reach Rue des Nolettes, keep left to take the path that runs slightly below the street. Follow the path until you reach the street at a small church.
Turn right, then immediately right again to climb Rue des Fonds de Dave. You will come to a small path that branches off discreetly to the left opposite Rue des Nolettes on the right.
(7) Follow this path and at the end of it, descend slightly to the right, then take the street that climbs to the left at the junction, Rue du Pont de Bois.
Follow the street until you reach a sharp right-hand bend. At this point, take the path that continues straight ahead in line with the street and passes between the fields.
(8) When the path joins the street, turn right to go back up the field you just came down.
The tip of the field is a wetland and may be a little muddy for a few metres. Leave the path to reach Rue des Acquises, which you follow straight ahead. At the end of the street, turn right, following the lower part of the road, then take the passage on the left between the houses.
(9) At the end of the passage, turn left onto Rue des Trous Minières, which leads to Naninne Church (S/E).
