I suggest another route in the same area: "Around the Bois du Grand Fréchy" (17 km). See hunting dates below
Walk in the woods of Marche-les-Dames
A lovely walk in the wooded hills of Marche-les-Dames: 1 km on the road to start with and 2 km on the towpath to finish, the rest is in the woods.
The path is largely marked by blue rectangles. The walk described deviates slightly from these markings to follow the ridges but rejoins them towards the end.

On the hills, take a look around you: the landscapes will surprise you.

The Hamois region is a treasure trove of architectural, natural and historical riches: castles, mills and barns, with traces of the past along the Bocq, which has its source in the heart of the village of Scy. But above all, it is a little paradise where it is good to stop for a while.

The fairly steep slope of the Grande Hulle and the total elevation gain make this hike equivalent to a short climb. The route mainly follows dirt roads and trails. There is little tarmac.
Around the Bois du Grand Fréchy
A beautiful hike (just over 3 hours), much appreciated, combining forests, streams, ponds and countryside. You will also be able to admire the castle of Sart-Eustache. There are a few short sections on tarmac, but these are necessary to reach other beautiful sections where the forest dominates. Hunting dates below
