Le Roc la Tour in the Château-Regnault Forest

Walk along the Semois from Bohan to Alle
An easy and peaceful route following the meanders of the Semois, mainly on cycle paths (RAVeL) and quiet roads. From Bohan, follow the river towards Vresse, Mouzaive and Alle-sur-Semois, with beautiful views of wooded hills, typical villages and picturesque bridges. The perfect route for a family outing or a contemplative stroll, with the option of picnicking by the water.
Walk from the Kelhan footbridge and the Membre Tunnel to Bohan
Discover a beautiful walk combining nature and heritage between Bohan and Membre, in the Semois valley. The Kelhan footbridge, suspended above the river, offers direct access to peaceful forest trails with superb views of the meandering Semois. Continuing towards Membre, the route takes you to the old railway tunnel connecting the two villages. Approximately 1.5 km long, this disused, dark and cool tunnel impresses with its unique atmosphere. A torch is recommended. This easy and original loop combines Ardennes landscapes, railway heritage and the charm of small villages.
On either side of the Ruisseau de l'Ours
Forest hike starting from Linchamps in the Hautes Rivières commune. A mountainous start, a passage through La Neuville aux Haies, a forest path overlooking the Ravin de l'Ours, a steep descent to find... the bear, and a peaceful finish.
