Departure from Gochenée church.
(S/E) Walk around the church to reach Rue Haute and head back down towards the centre via the street opposite.
(1) Take the alleyway between two buildings on the left and continue straight ahead.
(2) Take Rue Quartier du Pairet to the left until you reach the road known as Carrière de Gochenée. Follow it to the right for about 250 m: be careful, as there is some traffic on this fairly narrow country road.
(3) At the chapel, take the path on the right and follow it to the edge of the forest. Observe the pole crops on the left just before the next crossroads with a copse on the right.
(4) Turn right onto the path called Rue des Vieilles Fermes. Pass under two power lines and continue to Vodelée.
(5) At the entrance to the village, turn right onto Voye d'En Haut. At the T-junction, turn right again, staying on Voye d'En Haut.
(6) At the edge of the woods, turn left and follow the path along the edge. A few metres after entering the forest, it curves to the right and descends to the left, passing in front of the Notre-Dame de Bonne Fontaine Chapel: picnic possible. A few metres further down, follow the path on the left that goes up the right bank of the Hermeton.
(7) Just after passing the Moulin Bayot buildings on the other bank, turn right onto a narrow path leading towards the river.
Change: footbridge closed. Continue to the street called "Les Roches" and turn right. Then turn right again towards Moulin Bayot and at the T-junction, turn right to rejoin the circuit (notice dated 12/05/2021).
Continue along the path that passes in front of Moulin Bayot and follow the left bank of the Hermeton.
(8) Please note: after the ford on the Oméri stream, follow the poorly marked path down to a clearing along the Hermeton. If you cannot find this path, take the wide path up towards Soulme and, just after the high-voltage line, follow the path to the right which goes back down along the Hermeton. Going straight back up to the village of Soulme would mean missing the opportunity to admire the magnificent Moulin de Soulme property on the river side.
(9) At the bridge over the Hermeton, take the Chemin du Vieux Moulin to the left. At the entrance to Soulme, turn left onto the avenue lined with chestnut trees. Tucked away on the corner of Rue Sainte Colombe, the Sainte Colombe church is a listed monument. There is a picnic area under the chestnut trees along the wall of the cemetery adjacent to the church.
Continue through Soulme, one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia. Take Rue des Falgeottes on the right at the crossroads.
(10) At the fork, let Rue des Falgeottes curve to the right. Continue straight ahead to the main road N977 and follow it for a few metres.
(11) Take the first path on the right.
(12) Turn right at the edge of the woods: there is a beautiful view over Soulme at the start of this path. Follow this path.
(13) Turn right at the T-junction at the end of the clearing. The sunken lane leads to the main road N977.
(14) Go down it to the left towards the bridge over the Hermeton: watch out for traffic.
(15) Turn right before the bridge. There is a lodge in the old buildings opposite the marble sawmill. Turn left and cross the Hermeton just after the disused sawmill buildings.
(16) Do not enter the private property of the old marble quarry, but take the barely visible grassy path on the right that runs alongside the Hermeton. There are the remains of a turnstile at the start (see photo). Follow this path alongside the Hermeton, then across the meadow to the Moulin de Soulme bridge.
(17) Take the opportunity to walk along the (private) property, which has been converted into a lodge, and take a few photos if the weather is favourable.
(18) Retrace your steps.
(17) At the bridge, take the path called Rue de Doriémont, which climbs steeply to Gochenée.
Follow the road to the right, cross the main road N977 and take a grassy path running alongside gardens. After 50 metres, turn right, still between the gardens, and return to the road. Head back to the church and the starting point (S/E).
