Description of the walk

Park near the church in Dohan, a village in the Bouillon area.

(S/E) Walk down towards the Semois bridge. At the junction with the Route du Satti, turn left and, at the next junction, turn right up Rue Dohan Bas.
Shortly afterwards, join the Chemin du Gué.

(1) Continue along the Chemin du Gué and, after a double bend, take a path on the left at the bottom of a small valley. The path overlooks the Semois before veering away from it to join a wide track (mountain bike trail).
Turn left and head for the Schevauchée viewpoint.

(2) Continue along the path and, after passing the hamlets known as Virée de la Schevauchée and Les Boulettes, you’ll reach a house and a wide path branching off to the right.

(3) Keep going in the same direction; the path becomes a tarmac road reserved for local residents.

(4) Take the tarmac road and, after passing a farm on the right, you’ll reach the Route du Satti at the hamlet of Les Longs Champs.

(5) Continuing in the same direction, follow this road until you reach a wayside shrine.

(6) Turn right onto a stony track and rejoin Rue Dohan-Bas; shortly afterwards, turn left to rejoin Route du Satti and the church (S/E).

The route is fully signposted with a red line marked ‘No. 16’, except at point 6, where the signs direct us to continue along the Route du Satti. However, the path described in the guide is much more pleasant, even though there is no longer any traffic on that road.

A brilliant, very easy walk. There are fewer wooded areas due to tree felling, but it’s still enjoyable even in the heat. Make sure you follow the path marked with arrow 16 at the start of the route.

I didn’t go on the hike; I wanted to see what Visorando was all about first
