Departure from the kiosk in Ohain's town square.
(S/E) Go down diagonally to the left and continue for 200 metres to Rue du Batty.
(1) Pretty quickly, take a narrow path on your right, the Ruelle des Trépassés, which descends a little steeply and joins theGR®126Brussels-Membre sur Semois, which you will find again later on your route.
Follow thisGR® on your left, cross a small stream called the Smohain and continue to a large farm.
(2) At the farm, take a wide grassy path on your right, leaving the farm on your left. The path quickly becomes enclosed between embankments and crosses a wood.
(3) At the paved road, cross it and leave theGR®126. Immediately turn left onto a small path, Sentier du Monument Prussien, which quickly widens. The path crosses a larger road and climbs up into the fields in front of you. At the top of the hill, you will arrive at the Von Schwerin Monument, where you continue to your left.
(4) You will arrive at Rue du Vieux Monument, where you turn right. Continue along this path, cross a small wood, and at the next fork, turn left onto Rue du Bois de Paris. Pass through a residential area of Ohain and cross Rue du Bois Éloi.
(5) Then turn right onto a small paved road that crosses a vast country plain, Rue de Fichermont, to reach a grove on your left.
(6) Enter the grove on your left via Sentier du Champ Colombier and continue along this path. After the descent, the path climbs back up and then descends again. On the descent, you will see an abandoned farm on your left and, after crossing the small road, the path climbs again.
(7) You will arrive at a fairly large paved road where you will see a chapel and an imposing castle in front of you. Turn right along this road, pass the castle and turn left onto a paved street.
(8) Continue on your right along Chemin de la Sablonnière. Go up this road and continue straight ahead for about 900 metres until you reach a hedge by Sentier de Doury. At the hedge, turn left and follow it along Chemin du Piroit. This road joins Chemin de l'Alouette. The road offers wide views of the countryside. Keep right at the crossroads and continue straight ahead on this path. On your left, you will see a small chapel and the Waterloo golf course will be on your right.
(9) Keep left and walk along the golf course on your right. You will come to a crossroads where you take a paved path downhill on your right, the Sentier des Fosses. After about 300m, join a path on your right that goes up along the golf course, the Sentier de l'Abbaye.
(10) Take this path, further on, cross the Chemin du Bosquet and continue on the Sentier de l'Abbaye. You will pass through the Waterloo golf course. When you reach the T-junction, take the Vieux Chemin de Wavre on your left and keep left.
(11) Turn left onto the sunken lane, Chemin des Boiteux, and follow it for about 800 metres.
(12) Turn right onto a very small path that climbs steeply into the woods, the Chemin du Bois de Theule. Walk alongside a sports field until you reach a small asphalt road. Keep to your right, continue, cross the Vieux Chemin de Wavre and continue on the Chemin du Peque for about 300 metres.
(13) Take a path on your right that will take you through the woods, Sentier du Bois. This path winds its way to a large meadow. Continue on your left along Sentier du Pontceau and follow the meadow. This path will take you through another small wood and you will come to a paved road.
Turn left. You will see the La Roseraie restaurant at the end of the street. Continue along the road on your left and head back towards the centre of Ohain via the steep cobbled street, Rue de l'Église Saint-Étienne. You will arrive at the Place Communale, your starting point (S/E).
