Description of the walk

In Bona, park in the car park opposite the cemetery.

(S/E) Head North on the D9. After about 100m, turn left off the main road. At the next junction, go straight ahead and follow a track to the West, which leads into the woods.

(1) Climb up to the woods, following the PR® signs. At the various junctions, turn right.

(2) Stay on the main path, North or North-North-West, and ignore all the side trails.

(3) Join a track coming from the left and follow it to the right as far as the Borne des Cinq Seigneurs.

(4) Then take the 2nd path on the right (East, then East-South-East). At the crossroads, continue straight ahead and descend into the Bois de Lichy.

(5) On leaving the wood, after passing through pastures, cross the hamlet to the D9, near the castle.

(6) Follow the D9 southwards for a few dozen metres, then turn left towards the pumping station. Continue until you reach a crossroads.

(7) Turn right and ignore the next track on the left. Go straight up to a reservoir, from which you have a very good view.

(8) Continue to the Agland hamlet and its old houses, and walk to the hamlet exit.

(9) Then take the path to the right (South-West). Follow it to a T-junction, then turn left. Cross the ford and rejoin the D958.

(10) Cross the road (with care) and follow the road almost straight ahead up to the church. Turn right to join the D9. Turn right again, cross the D958 and descend to the car park (S/E).
