Plancenoit – Les Flamandes – Maransart

There are plenty of parking spaces on Place de Plancenoit.

(S/E) Walk down Rue Place de Plancenoit until you reach Rue du Mouton. Cross the road and turn left.

(1) Turn immediately right onto path no. 15, the Sentier de la Rue La Haut; cross this street and continue straight ahead on the opposite side. After a lovely descent, you’ll pass between two ponds and climb back up on the other side. Continue straight on along path no. 40, the Sentier des Flamanches. You’ll reach another woodland.

(2) First turn left then right to continue in the same direction as the previous path, still on the Sentier des Flamanches. At the edge of the woodland, cross the field to join the Chemin du Crucifix.

(3) Cross over and continue straight ahead along the Chemin Baty des Flamandes. At the Fork in the road by the houses, turn left onto the continuation of the Chemin des Flamandes. Pass under a high-voltage power line.

(4) At the bottom of the descent that follows, take the Chemin de Wavre on the left. This path soon becomes a sunken track, leading to a junction. Take the Rue du Poteau (north) or Rue de la Hutte (south) straight ahead for 2 km. Please note: there are no pavements or verges. Carry on until you reach the second farm track on the left, opposite a road. This is the Chemin de la Garde de Dieu (no. 29).

(5) Follow this track, which leads to the edge of a wood and continues along it under the name Chemin des Massénerées (no. 20). Carry on along it until you reach a crossroads at the edge of the wood. Turn right onto the track of the same name, but numbered 15. At the Fork in the road, take the left-hand branch.

(6) At Rue de Colinet, turn left until you reach Route de l’État, which you cross, then take Rue à Fossant opposite. At the bottom, turn right and continue to the next junction – Vallée Dame. Turn left and, 50 metres further on, turn right onto the Sentier d’Hubermont (or Sentier Près la Maison Blocry (no. 36)). You’ll pass a few turnstiles.

(7) If you are still at the bottom of the meadow, near some lovely trees on your right, walk up the slope just past them to reach the turnstile at the entrance to the woods. At the junction with a private track, cross it and continue straight ahead until you reach Rue de Bois Impérial. Follow this road to your left until you reach the ‘Sentier près la Maison Blocry’ (no. 37), situated just after house no. 31 on the street, on the right.

(8) It cuts across the sharp bend in Route du Bois Impérial, which you then follow straight ahead until you reach Rue d’Anogrune. Cross the road and follow the pavement to the left. At the next junction, the road turns right. Follow it in the same direction until you reach the original fork in the path.

(1) Follow the path in the opposite direction to the car park (S/E).

• The path is for pedestrians only (no cycling) and is not accessible to pushchairs or people with reduced mobility.

• Unfortunately, there is a 2 km stretch along a road due to a lack of connecting paths. Please take care with children.
