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. It is advisable to bring a torch. This easy and original circular route combines Ardennes landscapes, railway heritage and the charm of small villages.

A very pretty route, with a slight incline in the middle.
The start and end of the hike are on paved paths, which are pleasant for walking.
The Kehan footbridge is only accessible from late May or early June. Before then, the route is not passable.
Once you have crossed the footbridge, you will enter a steeper area. Be sure tofollow the green markers to stay on the right route.

a very beautiful walk with a nice variety of terrain, from carriage roads to narrow paths. A beautiful glimpse into the past with all these tobacco drying barns in varying states of repair

As expected, a pleasant route along the banks of the Semois, and back via the old tramway tunnel – lovely!

An interesting route, but not very busy. You can avoid crossing the Bohan campsite by taking a very pleasant path at the exit of the village halfway up the left bank. After crossing the Semois via the Kelhan footbridge, the path becomes more uneven but is perfectly passable in dry weather. It is more problematic when the ground is soggy and water stagnates in the low-lying areas of the Semois floodplain.

A pleasant walk, but unfortunately quite short. We combined it with the Promenade de La Table des Fées route in Bohan. The route is easy to follow thanks to the signposts (green rectangles), even if the app sometimes indicated the wrong location. The Kelhan footbridge, recently installed in the bed of the Semois for the summer months, is very picturesque. The passage through the restored tunnel between Bohan and Membre is also interesting. However, it is curious to read in the description that the tunnel is 1.5 kilometres long, when in reality it is no more than 150 metres. The tunnel is well lit, so there is no need to bring a torch.

A very beautiful walk. Be careful, some parts are a little more difficult to access (narrow path, roots, unstable stones). Saying that the walk is "easy" could be misinterpreted. Fortunately, the ground was dry. In wet weather, with roots and stones, some parts of the walk could be quite slippery (although fortunately there is little elevation gain on this loop).
